People have gradually carried outresearch into the binary oppositions as a literary phenomenon since the end ofthe 20th century. And it has far-reaching historic meaning andimportant academic value for research into it. Virginia Woolf was one of themost distinctive writers of English Literature using the stream ofconsciousness technique masterfully. Being one of the most innovative andinfluential novelist of last century, Virginia Woolf’s entire publishing careercan be described as an ever-regenerating creative process. By resetting thesubject matter of the novel and constantly experimenting with its form, shefinally ascends to that conspicuous height from which she can penetrate intolife’s flesh and fabric. Having long been viewed as a paradigm piece of modernliterature, The Waves, her latestcomplete work, can best demonstrate this innovative spirit of Woolf’s. Itliterally possesses no plot; therefore it almost seems an impossible task toprovide an outline of its content. There are six main characters in this book,but they feel no warmth of real human beings. Actually each of these charactersrepresents one unique perspective of life, and the all six of them point up themain body of this work, which mainly consists of their observations ormeditations on the meaning of human existence, self-identity, the truths ofpersonal as well as collective human life.
