A narrative of an older woman’s rite of passage, ”The Widow and the Parrot” does not capitulate to Victorian sentimentality, as Quentin Bell originally thought it did. Instead, it is an amusing yet subversive story. It demonstrates the power of the widow, who is viewed by society as defunct. Like Mrs. Ramsay in ”To the Lighthouse,” Mrs. Gage has a syncretic vision that celebrates all forms of life – a vision that Virginia Woolf honors.
