Virginia Woolf in THE WAVES questions binary thinking regarding gender identity severely because it is reductive and restrictive. The Waves presents a group of six friends whose reflections, which are closer to recitatives than to interior monologues proper, create a wave-like atmosphere that is more akin to a prose poem than to a plot-centered novel.
