Time passes, time pauses: an analysis of two colliding temporalities in Virginia Woolf's To the lighthouse

Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades / Informe de Seminario para optar al grado de Licenciada en Lengua y Literatura Inglesa / [...] Basically, I am going to answer these questions on the light of one proposal that came up during the seminar sessions. I believe that through the different temporalities of the characters, the section “Time Passes” may acquire a different meaning in the novel. This section is the one which brings to light the differences among the times lived by the characters; therefore, I propose that the temporalities exposed in this section surpass the boundaries given by the structure of the novel. In this way, the time of Time Passes outstrips the whole novel; thus gaining an organic relevance, changing our perception of the form of the literary work. From my point of view, Time Passes overcomes the structural
