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.

Alice rests at home in an armchair, talking drowsily to herself as her black kitten, Kitty, plays with a ball of string at her feet. Alice lovingly scolds the kitten for unraveling the ball of string that she had been winding up. She goes on to scold Kitty?s mother, Dinah, who is busy bathing the white kitten Snowdrop. Alice begins an imaginative conversation with Kitty, pretending that her pet talks back, and asks her to pretend that she is the Red Queen in a chess game. Alice attempts to arrange Kitty?s forelegs to better resemble the chess piece. When Kitty does not comply, Alice holds her up to the mirror above the mantle and threatens to put Kitty into the world on the other side of the mirror, which she calls ?Looking-Glass House.?
