• The introduction discusses differences of opinions among critics with regard to the three-part structure and value of Virginia Woofs To the Lighthouse, and the problem of its "story". It is often said that the kernel of the book is not a "story"; it is a group of people who have met at a summer house on an island, their relationships to one another including a marriage, the Ramsays' marriage. In the novel I have found a structure much like what Seymour Chatman calls "a plot of revelation", in this case a gradual revelation of the disturbed relationship between husband and wife. The scene between Mr. and Mrs. Ramsay comes to a climax when they stroll in the garden. There is much critical discussion about this scene. This essay presents two different readings of the scene, and attempts to read "The Window", part 1 of To the Lighthouse in detail as "a plot of revelation".
