Modernity has poured modern men a maelstrom of perpetual disintegration and renewal, of struggle and contradiction. Nietzsche criticizes the ideology of modernity based on progress and modern men who have made self-preservation and material comfort their goal and no longer create. And he diagnoses the contemporary social world reveals the symptoms of decadence. But he suggests the possibility to renew the world through leading nihilism to an extreme, and deconstructing tradition, value, and morality. So he emphasizes "becoming", something in flux which does not aim at a final state, does not flow into being. He says the impose upon becoming the character of being-that is the supreme will to power. According to Nietzsche, "the will to power" is the driving force of life, and all valuations are only consequences and narrow perspectives in the service of this will to power. He asserts that evaluation is creation, and truth is not something there, that might be founded or discovered-but something that must be created, and the value of the world lies in our interpretation. Thus he insists that people are creators, and there is no subject but an action, becoming as invention, willing, overcoming of oneself. The characters in The Waves express their anguish in modern society, and some characters get comfort in dreaming alien order. But Bernard creates his own life and himself through his ``will to power,`` instead of yielding to the demand of mass society. The process of Bernard`s self-creation is similar to the process of Nietaschean idea, ``becoming``. He questions the stability of world and self. And he affirms the instability and change of them. Thus he says all is experiment and adventure. This experiment accompanies continual deconstruction and creation. For Bernard, the process of writing is the process of creating his own life and self. His self-creation is becoming of the eternally self-destroying and the eternally self-creating whose symbol is "the waves."
