VIRGINIA WOOLF’S TO THE LIGHTHOUSE: THE PSYCHIC DEATH OF MRS. RAMSAY

Published 2022-05-29

Abstract

Virginia Woolf paints the character of Mrs. Ramsay by making her alive through the memories of her mother, Julia Prinsep Stephen. Mrs. Ramsay’s character can be excogitated if it is analyzed through the Psychoanalytic Social Theory of Karen Horney. The study examines the character of Mrs. Ramsay and how she has undertaken her voyage despite having all the neurotic conflicts towards her self– realization. The study also intends to explore how she died a psychic death on her way toward self–realization.
