Virginia Woolf "To The Lighthouse"

1} Stream of consciousness is very well used in this novel by Virginia Woolf. BY using this technique, she explains that how our relationships are so complicated. At some extent the novel says about Virginia Woolf’s own experience in her real life. The technique is used that how we think and how we make simple and formal feelings multifarious. she said in her novel that human relations is more important, because when Mr. Ramsay  and his family go out to lighthouse that time all lighthouse member play cricket and other game and also busy in own work and interested work do.  The technique of stream of consciousness especially with description of consciousness. So it is all characters can be vividly seen by reader were then author has no need to describe anything. 
2} The technique of stream of consciousness especially with description of consciousness. So it is all characters can be vividly seen by reader were then author has no need to describe anything.  Mrs.Ramsay does all things for family members; she lives for others’ she does so many sacrifices for the sake of others and so many things which is already decided by patriarchal society. Mrs.Ramsay is alive in mind of others because of her services and compassion to each. She has something to give all characters. Mrs.Ramsay is also known as ' Angle of the House'.  And Lilly Briscoe is totally opposite from the Mrs.Ramsay.  Lilly tries to break wrong idea that “the women can’t paint can’t write”. She does that and prove women’s identity as intellectuals as men. I think Virginia Woolf is more interested to   Lilly Briscoe's character rather than Mrs. Ramsay. Both are remarkable characters in novel because Mrs. Ramsay is alive because of her Womanhood only and Lilly Briscoe for her art.
3} Yes, I agree for Mrs., Ramsay's character .In Mrs. Ramsay is both thing are there Critique and tribute. Because she has tribute for her family is first like and care and some are they. Lighthouse stands for Mrs Ramsay because she is harbor for her family member and very much spiritual guidance. She takes care of her family members and her husband. She manages ego of her husband and if we talk about considering symbolically through presentation we can say that symbol of Mrs.Ramsay as we read in the novel she always indicates as an emotional guide for other characters. So we say that she is a central character in the novel. One thing that here we cannot forget that between husband and wife writer creates some distance between them and also their children. Here we can take one example of Mr.Ramsay and his son James. If we talk about writer and her biographical context, we can say that writer’s character is more presented in Lily Briscoe’s characters.
4}  There were two myths Oedipus myth and Pagan myth. As window works as bring new air in our house. We can interpret it as window brings freshness in our mind. Lighthouse shows the way to the people and it helps to take the right decision. So as compare to society it stands positive thing. 'To The Lighthouse' is based on Greek myth. In this novel  Virginia Woolf use various myth. Joseph blotner has also use the famous myth like the pagan myth or Oedipus myth. The myth of kronos and Rhea is relation between father and mother. Kronos has eating children. But they are so innocent. Here, Rhea is represented as a mother.  The myth of Homeric Hymns it is the praise of divinity or God. In this reference we find that how metaphor became reality. Use in the Homeric Hymns metaphor is  more important, literature is full of metaphor.
