Virginia Woolf in Modernist literature.

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…….!!!!!
