3. As Avrom Fleishman explains in Virginia Woolf A Critical Reading (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1975) p. 77, ‘Woolf deepens her portrait of the outsider by relating him to the archetype of the scapegoat, which has traditionally accompanied the communal ideal. By the exclusion, sacrifice, or crucifixion of one of its members the group establishes or reaffirms its own organic ties.’
