Abstract
Time and space – textual elements which were regarded as the secondary elements in the interpretation of the text, play a key role in shaping the narrative structure of Virginia Woolf’s novels. In her fictional prose the nature of characters and relationships are weaving in the complex chronotopic constructions and configurations. To understand the complex chronotopic configurations of the novel To the Lighthouse, it is essential to study conceptual and contextual metaphors of time and space. In the novel Woolf creates many conceptual metaphors which employ the functions to evoke a reader to realize the abstract notions as life and death, happiness and sadness, time and space. The central concern of the novel deals with complex interrelation between time and space. The modernist concept of time expands conceptual metaphors and causes its recurring formulation.
