=Martin Heller=
=Background=
Martin Heller is a man that serves as evidence of Roy Cohn's power. "Martin is fundamentally spineless,allowing Roy to manipulate him in order to impress Joe"(Spark Notes). Martin's image of being spineless was demonstrated in Millenium Approaches(act 2, scene 6) Roy, Martin, and Joe were dining in a fancy resturant. The reason for the outing was to encourage Joe to go to Washington. In the middle of the conversation, Roy tells Martin to rub his back because he has a pain in it. Of course, Martin begans to rub. This request in the eyes of Roy, was to show Joe just how loyal Martin is to him. In additon, later on in the conversation, Roy dismisses Martin from the table.

Stream of consciousness

Tthorpe:

In literatue, a way to represent the way humans think. According to Gibb, "Writers had long before sensed the complexity of man's conscious mind and even his unconscious mind"(246).The way the stream of consciousness is represented is through interior monologue. The interior monologue of a character in a narrative is closely related to the soliloquy in drama, however,Gibb states, "because it represents all of the stream, it is harder to follow"(211).

==History==

The narrative technique was developed by the french novelist, Edouard Dujardin and named by William James in his book "Principles of Psychology". In 1887, Dujardin wrote the first "stream of consciousness" novel, Les Lauriers sont Coupes(Hoffman,124). According to Myers and Wukasch, the stream of consciousness represents "the unbroken flow of thought of a character's conscious and subconscious mind"(346). Writers most known for this kind of writing are James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and William Faulkner(Gibb,246).
