Abstract
Woolf could choose many ways to describe the Ramsay's to her audience. She could start with a description of their summer home, the price of their rent, or their family lineage in an attempt to engage the reader and establish some common ground on which to build from. But, as Woolf points out in her essay Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Brown, these tools of the previous generation have no use for her. So, as Woolf would have it, she begins her description of the Ramsays not by convention, but rather by a simple line of dialogue. Both Mrs. and Mr. Ramsay are introduced to the reader by direct quotation, although it seems essential to notice the differences in their introductions. The compassionate Mrs. Ramsay's first words of "Yes, of course," contrast sharply with that of her more rigid and rational husband's first uttering of "But."
