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.
