Thinking Activity : To The Lighthouse
2) Do you agree: "The novel is both the tribute and critique of Mrs. Ramsay"? (Key: Take some clues from the painting of Mrs Ramsay drawn by Lily Briscoe and the article by Andre Viola and Glenn Pedersen. Can we read Mrs. R in context of the idea of Ideal Indian Woman - Karyeshu dasi, Karaneshu manthri; Bhojeshu mata, Shayaneshu rambha; Kshamayeshu dharithri, Roopeshu lakshmi; Satkarma yukta, Kuladharma pathni. )
Ans :- Yes I agree that the novel is both the tribute and critique of Mrs. Ramsay. Mrs. Ramsay is caring mother like any ordinary housewife. She always want to be perfect in her work. She likes to cook and she likes to feed to other. So we can say that Mrs. Ramsay is the perfect Ideal Woman.
4) In the article by Joseph Blotner, two myths are patterned together. Name the myths? How they are zeroed down to the symbols of 'Window' and 'Lighthouse'? How does the male phallic symbol represent feminine Mrs. Ramsay?
Ans :- We can find Oedipus myth and Pagan myth in To the Lighthouse ...
5) What do you understand by the German term 'Künstlerroman'? How can you justify that 'To The Lighthouse' is 'Künstlerroman' novel?
Ans :- Kunstlerroman is German term. Kunstlerroman menas Struggle of artist. in this novel Lilly Briscoe shown as a struggle artist because the character of Lilly show against patriarchy and follow her passion. So we can say that To The Light House is Kunstlerroman novel.
10) 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?
Ans :- Novelist has used the tale of "Fisherman and his wife" which is told by Mrs.Ramsay to james. In which wife is too much demanding. But hear Mrs. Ramsay is followed patriarchy that he always care his husband's wealth and accept his all orders. In this way writer makes a satire on Mrs.Ramsay that how she grown up her child with such ideas.
Thank you...
