Here below is my response on "To The Lighthouse"by
Virginia Woolf.
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.
2. Of
course, the novel deals with the tribute and critique of the character Mrs.
Ramsay. We can say about her tribute as everyone misses her after her death.
And we also can compare with Indian Woman who always fulfils the demands of
husband and do the work through out the whole day in home and takes care about
her child. In another way we can look her as a critique view also as her
treatment to her girl child and boy child is different which shows patriarchy
in the society.
3. This
novel ‘To The Lighthouse’ symbolizes both the female character Mrs. Ramsay and
Lily Briscoe as Virginia Woolf. WE all know that how Virginia woolf struggled
in her life against the society. Well, there is a line here in this novel, that
women can’t write or paint. This sentence, I think someone has told her in her
real life. To show that, women can write ,she writes this novel and portrayed
Lily Briscoe as a painter.
5. 'Künstlerroman’
is a German term which is about the somebody’s life or Artist’s novel, or we
can say which describes development or a struggle of an artist as in ‘To the
Lighthouse’ Lily’s character and the novel, itself is a struggle of an artist.
She wants to prove her intelligence in front of men.
