Q. Define the meaning of the term stream of consciousness
and explain how it is skillfully
.used in the novel

The flow of consciousness is a literary device of immersion in the mind of the character.

Explanation:

Flow of conscience is a technique used in literature that promotes the complete immersion of the reader in the mind of the character. This is because when using this technique the writer transcribes the character's thoughts in a complex and often entangled way, just like the thought of a real person. In this case, the reader is able to visualize the logical reasoning, the association of ideas, the brutal exchange of thought, the personal impressions and the daydreams of the characters in a very deep and detailed way.

You did not mention any work in your question, but a good example of the use of consciousness flow can be seen in the book "Mrs. Dalloway" by Virginia Wolf, where the technique completely shows the construction of ideas and thoughts of all the characters, making -the most alive, intriguing, philosophical and complex.
