Quoted lines from “Modern
Fiction”:

*The new novel as Mrs. Woolf clarifies is purely psychological.
*Under the influence of new psychological theories, life is not regarded as a mare tales, but a series of moments.
* she said that there are unlimited possibilities of the art and here is no limit to the horizon. Here no ‘method’, no experiment, no extraordinary is forbidden, but only falsity and pretence should be discarded.
How Plot changed inthe Modern Novel?
-The novels written by Stream of Consciousness, which reflects the decay of plot, that there is a tendency of discontinuity instead of continuity of action. In short, these novels are like incomplete sentence. The stream of Conscience is also called the psychological novel, the novel of subjectivity. It causes the absence of plot and action and to the deep of the human psychology.
-The plot depicts a character’s progression towards degeneration or death.
--It contains a metaphorical journey
