This paper aims to handle one of the troublesome and broadly dubious parts of Virginia Woolf's fiction, specifically, portrayal. Portrayal, as characterized by Martin Gray, is "how an essayist makes characters in a story to pull in or repulse our compassion" (Gray, 1992). For all the achievement and notoriety that Woolf has accomplished as a standout amongst the most noticeable English authors. As a scholarly commentator of a high bore, her books have been consistently an objective for rushes of extreme fundamental assaults. In his exposition "The Nature of Virginia Woolf'', David Daiches specifies a portion of the charges against Woolf's fiction. An overview of the basic reactions to Woolf's books starting from the thirties to the nineties demonstrates the dependability of this conviction. This charge has progressed toward becoming almost a traditional pattern in Woolf's analysis. A short re-visitation of Ralph Freedman's case, is carried out in this study and useful insights for the scholars have been presented.
