Abstract—Stream of consciousness literature is a literary phenomenon that appeared on the Western literary scene at the beginning of the twentieth century. Stream of consciousness can be seen as a product of the psychoanalysis of Sigmund Freud, Carl Gustav Jung and Alfred Adler. The inner monologue is a technique used in novels to express the content and process of a character’s conscious activities. The analysis of the inner monologue in Shi Zhecun’s novel One Rainy Evening and Virginia Woolf's novel A Mark on the Wall shows the characteristics of the stream of consciousness between the East and the West. One Rainy Evening adopts a linear association in time and space, while A Mark on the Wall adopts a dispersion of consciousness with a dot as a node. There are similarities and differences between the two novels in the expression of stream of consciousness.

Keywords—stream of consciousness, one rainy evening, a mark on the wall, inner monologue
