Dis/Connection
Virginia Woolf's “The Waves” is a book highly admired for its unmatched way of expressing the human consciousness. Instead of a conventional narrator conveying the story to the reader, it is inside the character's heads that this story takes place. There are seven characters in the book that the reader gets to know over the course of their lifespans, but only six of them are narrators. As the characters get older they start to face death, a recurring theme, that is one of the major forces that keeps the friendship intact. Because death is inevitable, after their grievances, they seek strength and end up seeing their old friends. Thus, death unites and disperses the characters at the same time.
