OP >I would disagree. There are instances of stream of consciousness in Ulysses.
Maybe. I only said that because some Joyce scholars will try and tell you there is a distinction made between the "interior monologue" and "stream-of-consciousness".
I'm still trying to get my head around it, but this is what it comes down to:
The later comes from the philosophy of William James where there is an emphasis on both preverbal thoughts and a continuous flow. For this reason, interior monologue is a more suitable term to describe Joyce's approach to representing thoughts in Ulysses because although he takes the reader in and out of his characters heads, he picks his moments carefully, and what his characters are thinking always has a carefully premeditated bearing on his truly, astonishingly, mind-bogglingly meticulous narrative schema.
Faulker and Woolf seem to take a more relaxed, scattershot, and free-associative/stream-of-consciousness approach.
Bloom, Stephen and Molly, for example, make associations, but there is not a single example of relaxed, unbridled "free-association" anywhere in the novel.
But, you know, tomayto-tomahto.
