Abstract: In To the Lighthouse, we find scantiness in matrimony which does not permit mature rational exchange of thoughts and emotions. The trajectory of suffocating wedlock through Woolf’s oeuvre is heightened in the novel when both Mr and Mrs Ramsay acknowledge the precincts of their nuptials. In their stillness, they want definite barriers to be upheld just like Virginia Woolf and Leonard Woolf. The paper attempts to underline the lexical expressions which Woolf herself quoted in her diaries and letters, thereafter making Mr and Mrs Ramsay mouthpiece for her ideas on conjugal relationships as an attempt to vindicate her behaviour with Leonard Woolf.
