As one of the representatives of the school of stream of consciousness, Virginia Woolf presents in a symbolic way her literary idea of pursuing inner truth in her first novel of stream of consciousness, The Mark on the Wall. Although the novel seems to narrate purely “my” tumultuous consciousness flow, in the depth of the consciousness, there is a literary issue which dominates the author’s stream of consciousness and triggers her myriad experience and insight, her intense concern with subject consciousness about literary development, and her definite declaration of a new literary style.
