To The Lighthouse By Virginia Woolf

To The Lighthouse By Virginia Woolf

Respected Sir,

           As we completed "To The Lighthouse" ....  I observed this many things in this work of art like,

1) We all know that Virginia Woolf has mastery over this stream of consciousness technique and she writes her all of works in this style only. We can see in this novel also that how she portraitist every characters in his subconscious level of mind. Because we all know that human relations are very complicated relations it self and Virginia tries to showcase them with the help of some characters like Mrs.Ramsay and Lily Briscoe. James also don't like his own father. We can not understand character of Mrs.Ramsay fully that why she is doing service for everyone. It is her real nature or she wants something else. Lily Briscoe is also don't know that what she wants till the end of this novel. 

                             May be this novel is a answer for this question that "Women Can't Paint, Women Can't Write".

                            It is very biographical work of art so we can say that Virginia tries to prove something about her personal relations withe her family members and with others.     

2) If we talk about character of Mrs.Ramsay she is very good and ideal image which stands for ancient time similar to ancient woman. But if we think about modern time then she is not ideal woman. Because now a days no one likes to serve any one like servant.  We can not understand Mrs.Ramsay that why she is doig this kind of things. For getting name and fame or she must be thinking to remembered after her death by people like she likes to preserve much. She is trying to preserve her good image in front of other people or her family members who are missing her after her death also and she becomes immortal at the end of this novel.

3) We can interpret that Lighthouse stands for the symbol of Mrs. Ramsay. She always becomes emotional guide for other characters. As Lighthouse is central figure of the novel, she is also in the center of this novel  and other characters are surround her at the periphery.she is guide for her children and for her husband that she is giving guidance for life to her son James as well as to her husband.   But, unfortunately, she becomes a wall between her husband and children. She is not allowing James to meet with his father and after death of Mrs.Ramsay Mr.Ramsay needs support of his children but he couldn't. She gives Light and Enlightenment to her family and family members. She also showed path to Lily Briscoe at the and of this novel.

5) “To the Lighthouse’ is many ways a ‘Kunstlerroman’ novel.  First of all we try to find the meaning of this word that what is mean by this word ‘Kunstlerroman’. It mean "artist's novel" in English, is a narrative about an artist's growth to maturity It means which describes development or a struggle of an artist. It also deals with ‘arrogant rejection of the commonplace life’, in this novel the character of Lily makes it ‘Kunstlerroman’ novel.In this novel Lily Briscoe is a artist and she suffered a lot to establish her work of art that she always in a worries of this words like,"Women Can't Paint, Women Can't Write". She always tries to prove her self and at the end she got the vision that she finished her painting of Mrs.Ramsay. we can also say that this whole novel is it self a struggle of artist to establish his or her art.  Lily Briscoe struggles for her painting as art as well as Mrs.Ramsay struggles for making her own art of living and preserving the human nature. 

7) If we try to compare this both the things Novel and Film I found one difficulty that language of novel is more difficult then the language of movie. Because we all know that Virginia Woolf is a master of writing in the style of stream of conciseness. That's why when we read real novel first we understand nothing and then we try for second time we feel more pain in words then dialogue of movie.  Movie is more simplifying this language that's why it doesn't reach to the heart of renders.  So with the help of this statement we can say that novel is more poignant than the movie. 
                                                                                                                                                                                   Thank You ..........
