Assess students' ability to analyze how narrative fragmentation and stream-of-consciousness techniques operate in early 20th-century modernist fiction, including identification of formal features (interior monologue, free indirect discourse, temporal disjunction, syntactic/punctuation disruption), comparison across authors (e.g., Joyce, Woolf, Faulkner), explanation of effects on perspective, temporality, and characterization, and close-reading of short passages to interpret thematic consequences.
