Jacob's Room

The narrative style is so distinctive—does it make Jacob feel more real or more distant? I wonder if this choice was meant to mirror the fluidity of memory and self.

It seems like the novel focuses on how others perceive Jacob, which makes me curious if Woolf wanted to comment on societal expectations or personal identity.

The non-linear approach feels very deliberate, but I wonder what led Woolf to tell Jacob's story this way—was it an artistic choice or a reflection of modern life?
