Artistic Features of Stream-of-Consciousness Novels Viewed from Ulysses

Interior monologue is employed in the stream-of-consciousness novels by the narrator "I" by means of free association with a view to let the author withdraw from the novel and the reader meet the characters face to face.The author's consciousness changes from objective time to subjective time in a three-dimensional structure of the spatial and temporal discord.This helps to tap the characters' inner world and put the author's subjective initiative to full use.James Joyce's Ulysses adroitly employs the stream-of-consciousness technique to a fit that it becomes a epoch-making milestone of literature.
