Abstract
This thesis looks at the Virginia Woolf's critique of the previous portrayal of characters in fiction and her adaptation of a new narrative style in order to convey a modern realism. Two of her novels include an intrusive narrator that serves to argue for the creation of a new form of representation of the character in the novel. Through the creation of distance and the parody of the genre, Woolf provides the reader a picture of their relationship with the character in the novel.
