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.

Joyce may have pottered around the house talking to himself, but he didn't force his characters to behave thus. I'll bet Verdi walked around humming, too.

Schumann, known schizophrenic, could produce the sounds of the entire orchestra with his lips, didn't require activation of vocal chords.
