Reality is often a dry and monotonous explanation of things. It lacks the luster of emotions and a description of reality often fails to evoke the feelings that the author wants to convey through his or her work. Reflections, on the other hand, helps people to introspect. By composing characters who can reflect upon the deep hidden truths of life, the true meaning of the work can be conveyed. Woolf believes that true reflections are required to make the character a round character and the depths of that character can be explored through such reflections. While reality can inspire the author, however, only portraying the character’s realist side tends to make it flat and dry devoid of any underlying emotions. Hence, according to the author an account of reflections is more important than a description of reality.
