Mrs. Woolf utilizes this free affiliation of emotions to allow internal considerations and sentiments, which mix into each other, and sprout discourse about these ruminations. In the supper party, for example, Woolf changes the perspectives, and moves frequently by meager exchanges.

One example of this is through Mrs. Ramsay dialogue in the opening
