Consciousness is the state or quality of awareness, or, of being aware of an external object or something within oneself. It has been defined as: sentience, awareness, subjectivity, the ability to experience or to feel, wakefulness, having a sense of selfhood, and the executive control system of the mind.
Definition: The phrase âstream of consciousnessâ refers to an uninterrupted and unhindered collection and occurrence of thoughts and ideas in the conscious mind. In literature, the phrase refers to the flow of these thoughts, with reference to a particular characterâs thinking process. This literary device is usually used in order to provide a narrative in the form of the characterâs thoughts instead of using dialogue or description. Example: All writings by Virginia Woolff are a good example of literary stream of consciousness. Life is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged; life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end.. The Common Reader (1925).
