The sea represented two things: - on the one hand it represented what is harmonious, feminine; - on the other hand, it was also destructive, menacing and stood for the possibility of the resolution of intolerable conflicts in death. At the father’s death Virginia began her own life and literary career. She became one of the members of the Bloomsbury group. This “group” challenged Victorian values. In 1912 she married Leonard Woolf and after she had another breakdown and she entered a nursing home and attempted suicide by taking drugs.

The Second World War increased her anxiety and she became The Second World War increased her anxiety and she became haunted by the terror of losing her mind. She chose the only possible haunted by the terror of losing her mind.
