The Lady in the Looking-Glass: A Reflection Virginia Woolf?s ?The Lady in the Looking-Glass: A Reflection,? explores the issue of selfhood and self-realization. Woolf writes from the point-of-view of an anonymous narrator who attempts to learn more about a rich spinster, Isabella Tyson, by exploring facts and making figurative comparisons and speculative comments. Yet none of them lead the narrator to the real truth about Isabella. By implementing numerous metaphors, such as a looking glass to explore the inner and outer self of Isabella, Woolf explores how truth is portrayed, warning readers not to seek to know so much.
