Framing Life: The Other Reality
Framing Life: The Other Reality

Summary/Abstract: What is real and what is fictional? Where does reality end for fiction to begin? In To the Lighthouse (which the present paper deals with, with a focus on Mrs Ramsay) as well as in the other novels, Virginia Woolf challenges the very concept of reality, changing the conventional rapport between the world outside (outer events) and the world inside (inner events/movements). The writer focuses on the characters’ inner reality perceived as the “true reality”, an attempt to frame and give meaning to life, built on experiencing, on contemplating the external world.
