"The Voyage Out" by Virginia Woolf is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the experiences of young Rachel Vinrace as she embarks on a journey to South America on a family-owned ship, the "Euphrosyne", accompanied by her uncle and aunt. The narrative explores themes of identity, emotional turmoil, and the constraints placed on women within society, while also delving into the interpersonal dynamics of the characters surrounding Rachel. The opening of the novel introduces the Ambrose couple—Mr. and Mrs. Ambrose—navigating through the bustling streets of London, where Mrs. Ambrose's sorrow casts a shadow over their interactions. After a brief glimpse into their emotional struggles, the couple boards the "Euphrosyne", transitioning from the mundanity of London to the promise of adventure. As the ship sets off into the open sea, Rachel, introduced as an interesting yet somewhat isolated character, awaits her uncle and aunt nervously. As her journey begins, the vivid description of the ship and its occupants sets the stage for explorations of their inner lives and relationships, particularly highlighting Rachel's sense of self and the expectations imposed upon her.
