The "interior monologue" is the same innovation as silent reading (which is still impossible for many. Watch their lips as they subvocalize...) People anthropomorphize people too much. If you can "picture things in your mind's eye" (while awake) you should know that most can't.

Interior monologue developed from movies, who had the obligation of having their characters speaking their thoughts out loud. People just started doing like in the movies.

False. Joyce's Ulysses predates the first talkie. Interior monologue is noted long before this. Shakespearean soliloquies are dramatizations of interior monologue. The phenomena is noted as far back as the invention of the phonetic alphabet.

>he thinks the 69-pager that closes Ulysses is interior thoughts They're speaking out loud, this is what a chad does. Joyce was a chad schizophrenic, you think he just "thought" stuff? He said everything out loud, farts and all. Shakespeare too.

Ever read Finnegans Wake? The thoughts of the narrator CANNOT be contained in his mind, they erupt and walk the earth, speaking tongues unknown to men. They have been foreclosed from the real, they reemerge in the symbolic.

"Finnegans Wake," he tweeted, "takes place in a dream." His memories were good; this is how it had been worded when he'd first come across it on /lit/.

This is what I just said. Hence why you look so stupid saying it.
