Worksheet: Virginia Woolf's To The Lighthouse

Respected sir,

(1) We can say that Virginia Woolf has thrown some light on the serious topic like human relation. When we mention Virginia Woolf “To the lighthouse” it is very natural to take about her steam of consciousness technique. It is used more accurately than the latter, since it is rhetorical term and properly refers to a literary technique. 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) Yes we can say that Mrs . Ramsay is a typical Indian woman.She is lovely wife and mother . She always think about others especially her family. She is also good hostess.woolf represents Ramsays character as an Indian house wife who always care and think for other.The symbol of window is represents her emotions and feelings .she lives for her family and that's why she is the center of the house and novel also.other side woolf reflects Lily Briscoes character .she is opposite from Mr.Ramsay. she live her life with freedom .she never sacrifice herself for other like mr Ramsay. So here woolf trys to identify herself in Lilly's character or she may be identify women's freedom by Lily's character. In the other side woolf reflects the house wife (mr Ramsay)who lives for other and never think about herself . Lilys painting represents mrs Ramsay here we can see that Lily trys to make an image of mrRamsay it identify that may be Lily wants to understand her or she inspired by her .
(3) The Light house is the symbol used for Mrs Ramsay. She is standing straight in the storms of emotions and minor clashes among family members as light house is standing and guiding force for the voyager. Lily sometimes carries the feelings of writer. Woolf had overcome her own struggle with society as well as her inner self, which brought stoicism. When Lily paints, she remembers Mrs Ramsay.
(4) Here Woolf has used Oedipus myth and myth of Rhea and other Goddesses. The light house is relevant to the human phallic symbol but here it stands for Mrs Ramsay. She is the live force, creative force of the Ramsay family. Exalting the feminine principle in life over the masculine, Virginia Woolf built her novel around a character embodying the life-giving role of the female. In opposition, she shows the male, both in the father and son aspect, as death-bearing?arid, sterile, hateful, and "fatal" . The female principle in life is exalted in all its aspects of love which are opposed to the harsh and critical aspects of the male principle, of fertility with its pattern of triumph over death in rebirth. What, then, becomes of the single obvious central symbol, the Lighthouse.
