Hello Readers,
"To The
Lighthouse" by Virginia Woolf - blog task
This blog is a part
of my blog task activity for the novel "To The Light house" by
Virginia Woolf in Modernist literature
Here is the given task:
My responses to the questions are
given below:-
1 ) complexity of
human relationship.
“ Life is
simple but people are complicated”
In the novel
Virginia Woolf use of the Narrative Technique is “stream of consciousness”. Stream of consciousness is handing tools
for her to use this technique where they are in flush and things are always in
moment, we can't say this is this and that is that.
Virginia
Woolf use the Hidden thought of each and every character in the novel, For
Example: James Hearted towards of there
Father,
“Had there been an axe handy, a poker, or any
weapon that would have gashed a hole in his father's breast and killed him,
there and then, James would have seized it.” –
Part 1
Mrs. Ramsay and look
towards James, and Lily Briscoe how Lily Briscoe looking towards Mrs. Ramsay that way character is draw. That way stream of
consciousness operate. In the dialogue between, Charles and Mr. Ramsey he speak philosophy things
philosopher also ideas always philosophy. Charles tensely comes and say my
chapters, you read or not what is happen, when my PhD work is not done, if you
return but he say we will do it don't worry don't patients.
We will
complete that also so Charles, cancelling is also having opinion about
political affairs live. and Mr. Ramsay are leaving country, which is longer and
almost verge of battle first world war is begin. on whose opinion is complete,
and PHD is quickly going to politics life also they also impassion .
Charles
translate is argue, “women can't to paint or can't to right”
also and say there is something like object objective truth and which women are
incapable of get objectivity is. And say “emotional
beings is never have so something like objective” .
Once a book now mobile
phone is a questionable things people are doubting in they characters.
2) "The novel is both the tribute
and critique of Mrs. Ramsay"
Mrs. Ramsay seems to be a protagonist
centre of the novel. Mrs. Ramsay, such woman She take care of the male Gender. This is
seen in the whole novel. For Example,
she’s empathy towards like, Son, Husband ,
poet Carmichael, Charles Tansley, or when observe to she telling story
of James there is also empathy towards fisherman not his wife. When we talk about Mrs. Ramsay This all situation are
significance two daughter looking towards her mother and mother taking some
extra care of her sun James more
specifically, her behavior is quite different with the Female in the house.
And also she don’t interest to give answer to
the daughter. Even her behave with Lily Briscoe is quite different.
Mrs. Ramsay is
also make Bridge among the Husband and children. emotionally connected with all
the characters, so we will the Mrs. Ramsay was a taking care see house. How
modern is things are making, that is symbol equally about relation to be the
melting reflect.
Mrs. Ramsay passing away where Time and again memory, of the Mrs. Ramsay in house in
alive. Her Famous line, “ Windows open and door is shut”. Absence of the Mrs.
Ramsay there was no peace at some place. Specially Her Husband is very missing.
In absence of the
Mrs. Ramsay there is a Dining table,
when we see the long but now it's very empty tables. The way it full of lot
many things and highly decorated it doesn't remain so on this also. the idea of Ideal Indian Woman - Ideal Indian women how it is, if some made of the
house, random ministry like a Minister, account kept Mrs. Ramsay, make good
food like a mother, beautiful like Laxmi , Mrs. Ramsay is all this Indians’ we
find, is also large family.
3) Joseph
Blotner, two myths are patterned together.
Literary
writers, keep in using the mythical
things either consciously or unconsciously. Where is pointer in the articles , Joseph Blotner is
debating. How can we see that Virginia Woolf deliberate use of mother,
daughter, and wife threefold fold of
relations.
Zeus mix of female Identity Riya Demeter and Percy
phone, is mother, daughter, and wife,
three fold relation of women identity women hood. with gourd
Good Zeus. Was Virginia Woolf knowing about myth
that is when first question people not knowing very well where is about how
made right reviews are connected can't forget green mad people Paragon.
So,
those religions negated or consider confident people, who has so
many Gods and Goddesses and Golden pagan. And they call them pagan, “pagan” meaning is dictionary it is offensive term. To insult somebody who
does not
acknowledge the god
of the Bible or Quran. And there is also Term with Polytheist, first
they have theist or atheist, There
is also pantheist widespread
everywhere see God.
Like water, trees,
air, that is pantheism. Indian culture before Christianity. Paragon myth
Christian still not agree and accept people like Indians or Greek or African
who will in multiple god as a religious people.
Virginia Woolf is knowing
that myth absence of evidence, from
Diary and letters we how to judge. One
onw articles speak about that he is non Greek, Virginia Woolf, this myth or
knowledge is a deliberate users Ramsay and Lily Briscoe. And Mrs. Ramsay daughter can put the
characters of for example, Riya ,
percifony, dimeter, They don't have the
evidence.
All this myth or
the beginning, of the when talk about the myth Riya or Dermetre, Percifony.
Where is the beginning of Greek myth we have the Greek primordial deity. the first generation of the god, where is the
first chaos end of Cronos chaos is darkness. Lady is a darkness and then from
there another lady comes as Earth. of Gaya light or cancer Sky is a male God,
for every night Sky, comes over the darkness and then the children are born.
Chronically and those children are born but they, thought
they said the mother earth old mother darkness doesn't like this for fully
coming over the sky every night . So enrages is one of his son on Cronous
to help her and one night went in a way Sky of her husband comes over the night
chronic is cutting down genitals of sky.
Then the genitals
cronos and where is he go another daity is coming, from the blood and other
things also, so very fast images. Of God we find the role of the female it's
everything images for womenhood, from The Identity of a female and there is
violence write very first pages, root of everything there is this kind of
violence beginning of the oedipus complex whatever Myth goes in constructed
over this ideas itself.
Now this mother his
daughter which is again another generation is goes on, Riya daughter of the
earth goddess is gaya what is Sky is a Uranus. show first parent sky and earth
end of first daughter is Riya, and Uranus and or sister and wife cronos.
This initial
family insect also inset brother and sister having a relation( for example
Eugene mourning becomes Electra in the Play),
Mythical story is support the idea that this
sister and wife remain same, known as a mother of God now in this story at
moves on myth. where chronic came to know that own son will kill him. or will
be harm for him, it's not guilt because that not possible for it will for him.
They will become ruler
after me so cronos as soon as child is born who started eating the children, he
is all his 8 children’s eating , his wife made up plan in the last one,
the boy hid it and gave stones to eat. And he also eat stones, mother is taking
revenge of use of son . so women is more powerful all this myth initial that
goes women commits.
How porcyfony read is read Mrs., Ramsay. Mother wife and daughter
everything is red in Mrs. Ramsay characters.
Part number 6 is take Oedipus myth we say in the
novel, James is become very angry when Mother greed father that is
Oedipus myth.
And last articles ands
fundamental pattern of human experience, when we see beyond all those the
cultural curtains and we see human being everywhere where is a fundamental
pattern remains common with everybody .
When architecture
structures, window is female and lighthouse is male seen psychological,
structures male phallus symbols and
female phallic symbols and they try
to read architecture design. so window become a female identity endplate how
become male identity.
4) German term “ kunstlerroman”
“ kunstlerroman” article
it is finding Andre Viola article fluidity and muscularity, in this
article there is a reference“ kunstlerroman” .
Dictionary meaning of oxfoud Britannica meaning “ kunstlerroman” is the
, German words narrating growth
psychological artist maturity into the novel.
That is useful Roman
novel. Literature talking about artist when literature protagonist, is artist
there are Painters there are writers in Literature. a protagonist what they
find how they are make mature, they art like writer painter musician or
singers that become cool style Roman.
For example we find, in many films where there are singer is
protagonist and then there are story of maturity into the singing they also.
can be“ kunstlerroman they were narrators. artist growth maturity
also, So that is end here is a artist there is a painter there in the novel.
we read the autobiography of Virginia Woolf
prematurity along Lily Briscoe maturity they , ( for example The Oliver Twist
is this novel is speak about building growth of the protagonist, somebody's
growth like a physical psychological growth normal is psychological growth its
maturity that kind of growth is any literature is heritage it's bildungsroman,
childhood to adult Adult to old that is genre.) Lighthouse is kind of “ kunstlerroman..
5) How do
you interpret the last line of the novel I have had my vision.
I have had my vision
She goes inside of self
something within, she is found I have found my vision from inside. so
real secret are within us , She speak close door but open window that sentence
she is telling,
“Dear
Mrs. Briscoe you are a fool”
So what is his vision,
going inside in search of self maybe or whatever we read, last sequence of
sending there , dark and light the face somewhere totally darker, and that
there is the light on face.
This is a Lighthouse going
to the Lighthouse is in a way is not very much important, but symbol
this was perhaps the journey people coming there near to each other or
together. Mr. Ramsay and the children’s
under that understanding perhaps develop among the send in different capacities
also.
When we look at the deep entire narration as critic , or tribute to the
Mrs. Ramsay characters traditionally is we read that way Mrs. Ramsay is
something is very important Centre of the narration. and it is all about her
only more radical feminism and reading. Lily Briscoe Centre but in that way as
a Mrs. Ramsay is her way of life is something that is more projected here.
Some of the readings
Vision is found that is Mrs. Ramsay way of life better, let me put my
painting aside, and let me go to where she's or what she's doing.
In this case we find
that this going to light house was traditionally mythical is a kind of
pilgrimage for family members. That is traditional narration . In this we read
go to the Lighthouse and there happy. End of The Pilgrimage what mythical and
archetypal pattern.
Other alternative is that they are a fool there is nothing like,
it's a fool that thinks all this. We have to start over work. You carry with
own work. your loneliness is good there is no need to have company in your own
better way also don't think much about Mrs. Ramsay, oh to be like that
and you think like that is a foolish either of the way narration .
Glenn
pedersen articles.
Article begin this
sentence, someone had blundered,
vision of Lily Briscoe revise it was Mrs. Ramsay they spoken by Mrs. Ramsay,
who is the blunders is read division on that this all goes on the vision of
Lily Briscoe at the end of revile that
it was Mrs. Ramsey.
On this idea article try
to build up ideas and argument, the action is repeatedly show is Mrs. Ramsey guilty essentially because of his Desire or a
selfhood, putting her into the centre. That is the Desire and matriarchy,
encouraging.
Oedipus complex in the sun she denies the
husband debate, for fathers and another one is opposite to patriarchy
matriarchal society social order. Is also poly dangerous Rising matriarch that,
becomes significance.
Now
see other idea is she is a bridge among the people when she is not there family
members, not talk with each other now it is a opposite life is alive but family
integration is not possible.
when she die and then father and children going
to the Lighthouse, then they come near each other this coming off near each
other James aim would not be possible. if Mrs. Ramsay was there this is the
very alternative way to looking at the Mrs. Ramsay.
So who has blended and that is Mrs. Ramsay and there point various
argument are constructors vision of Lily Briscoe and vision come this way in
this article.
6) What does the catalogue
named as 'Army and Navy' signify? What does cutting of 'Refrigerator'
signify?
Mrs. Ramsey part of this she is preserve
of culture. So what culture kind of
womanhood traditional cultural identity of women Hood they preserve to this
identity. And this idea of womanhood Mrs. Ramsay or the Victorian normally
projected. Or wanted to prison identity. ( Man to go outside work, and the
women do the work household) .
So refrigerator is a
symbol of preserving culture shaping the culture with the advance preserving.
something, little boys sitting there and doing, that she wants her and the
women around her to support and sustain men.
while she want man to be success, in the
public fear. Her shaping of the cultured Or preserving, of the
culture is very dichotomy. Victorian dichotomy Mrs. Ramsay
The Epitome of the best example: of
that Victoria identity of dichotomy men and women boys and girls ever
different roles. to the play and she is doing that right from the beginning with
see and with daughter also today as we
see that the dialogue is reached that.
Where people now say that the mother should
train to her son rather than daughter. Mrs. Ramsey things boys are special and
girl child is different role. This is preserved by Mrs. Ramsey. Is a
refrigerator is doesn't allow something to the change is a same way Mrs. Ramsay
is preserving identity as it is.
Idea is art is a
preserving so art literature, preserver of ideas of culture way of life
everything how it is preserve in to that become very good urn. Within which
things are preserve. Frozen ness of Victorian civilization, culture, idea also
gets reflected in the refrigerator.
There is the another
reading navy and army is catalogue of Army and navy stores, catalogue is also
symbol of War. End catalogue is book which is supposed to sell things. This is
also symbol of consumerism.
Lighthouse of Virginia Woolf in those year
nobody thought, of capitalist is something bad or Marxism is not still that
fashionable. during those years and was she against capital list and does he
also looking at the money. Capital or not, is not looking that when I conclude
her essay Room's of one own , see very clearly write women should have
economical independent, women should have enough of money in her pocket to
decide whatever ones on to do.
So he is a favor of having money. Mrs. Ramsay is spend some money and Mr. Ramsey
become angry over that the same idea under playing. Women don't have Independence
to take have decision.
7) Why did Virginia give such prominence to the tale of the “Fisherman’s
Wife”? In particular, why did she weave such a misogynist tale into the fabric
of a book which so eloquently challenges received patriarchal notions about the
roles and capabilities of women?
This story used
by Virginia Woolf why ,Virginia Woolf uses this misogynistic story. One is
parallel fisherman wife and Mrs. Ramsay
read one traditional, way of looking. Both make unreasonable demand upon
their husband. She also anti husband, Mrs. Ramsay favor of child.
Where is the
fisherman wife also anti husband and always ask for something that husband
don't want to do. And don't want to go for that thing.
She is a subverting
misogynist of ferity. Mrs. Ramsay is acting from empathy, she has much more
common with the empathetic. and reasonable fisherman rather than his wife. So
subverting and ironical use of that.
People say do not say the women.
More women will fall then obey. Female will or female Desire if man will walk
on the path of that there is negative outcome. So, subverting the means and
then the story narrate on a opposed female will Desire man will or will
or desires uncheck consequences are bed. This story is imposed in subverting
way into the narrator.
So subverting
ironically way of looking this misogynist myth. or That reading become
necessary to understanding.
There are
fish caught also and fish has been caught and again thrones
Again water now this mutilated body of
fish become symbols .
Now fish is not dead fish is alive get mutilated
body.
He can not die in
water and with the wound, he cannot live. Casual of cruelty Show to words the
fish. Men violence the fisherman has empathy towards the fish.
rather than also its women the man is a the
point of danger in the nature.
In this story
Virginia Woolf, is making a satire on Mrs. Ramsay, even she is not understand
they are telling misogynistic story. by that way, you are conditioning the mind
of child boy, child in such a way he would accept the similar kind of
behavior from wife letter on.
Wife are demanding wife's
brother shrew and tell timing me is
become necessary.
So, Mrs. Ramsay is process of conditioning the
mind of the boy child to be prepared for kind of a gender roles, what do accept
from wife letter on in life also.
Thank You…….!!!!!
