" But this question of love (she thought, putting her coat away), this falling in love with women. Take Seton; her relation in the old days with Sally Seton. had not that, after all, been love?" (Woolf, 32).
Some scholars who have explored the novel have decided that Clarissa is a Lesbian. She always struggled with her relationships with men, and found love in her old best friend. Although this may be pointing to her love for women, it may also just be that she was exceptionally close to Sally, and loves her as a dear friend, not a romantic lover.
