The story A Haunted House by Virginia Woolf is a short story full of symbolism imagery and irony. The story is narrated in the third-person limited or the limited omniscience point of view which helps the reader to get a more in-depth perception of how the ghosts and the living people feel and helps the reader understand some of the thoughts that these flat static characters have throughout the story.
The time period is never clearly stated but it appears to be a long time ago possibly in the late 1800's at an old English house with a garden. A Haunted House is about a ghost couple male and female who go around in a house that was once theirs. The reason for being in the house is that they are searching for buried treasure.
