to the lighthouse blog task

Virginia woofs to the lighthouse 
here is my response to blow questions:

(3)   Considering symbolically, does the Lighthouse stand for Mrs. Ramsay or the narrator (Virginia Woolf herself who is categorically represented by Lily)? (Key: Take help from the presentation on Symbolism to connect Mrs. Caroline Ramsay with Lighthouse. Secondly, the narrator / author cannot fully disappear from the novel and thus the stoicism of Lily to paint and thus prove that she can paint, is symbolically presented in stoicism of Lighthouse. Read 'lighthouse' symbol from presentation slide with this insight to connect lighthouse with the narrator. Give your concluding remarks in the comment below in this blog )

ans: (3)  Mrs.Ramsay is the central character in the novel. She is very emotional touched with her family as well as for guest. After her death, everything is changed.
Lily Briscoe is another important character of Mrs. Ramsay. We can see that Lily's painting symbolized women's struggle in patriarchal society, against man's belief that “Women can't paint and write”. But Lily prove that “ Women can paint and write”. Lily’s thought process is the thinking process of writer herself.
Lighthouse is a symbolical, like something that gives direction title itself is deeply symbolical or metaphorical. Lighthouse is a symbol for the spiritual hermit; lighthouse is a symbol for the spiritual strength and emotional guidance. both woman character are different in some existence lily Briscoe shown as a strong character and Mrs. Ramsay's character is very emotional and ideal woman. 

(7)You have compared the 'beginning' and the 'ending' of the novel and the film adaptation of the novel directed by Colin Gregg (you can see it again in the embedded video below this). Do you think that the novel is more poignant than the movie? If yes, do you ascribe the fact that the power of words is much greater than that of the screen / visuals?

ans: (7)   When we read the beginning of the novel it has effective start like we enter in the mind of characters one by one and in the film it has differently begun with the introduction of the characters. At the end, the confusion of Briscoe has very well described by the narration and in the film it has described by the visual effects of light and sound. Both are effective but we can say that novel has long narration of Lily's dilemma and her vision.

(8)  How do you interpret the last line of the novel (It was done; it was finished.

Yes, she thought, laying down her brush in extreme fatigue, I have had my vision.) with reference to the ending of the film (After the final stroke on the canvass with finishing touch, Lily walks inside the house. As she goes ante-chamber, the light and dark shade makes his face play hide-and-seek. She climbs stairs, puts her brush aside, walks through the dark and light to enter her room. Gently closes the door - speaks: "Closed doors, open windows" - lies on the bed and with some sort of satisfaction utters: "Dearest Briscoe, you are a fool".) 

 ans : In the novel Lily saw the painting of Mrs Ramsay, she saw an ideal housewife and mother and her confusion of being ideal woman has solved, her blurred vision (Mrs Ramsay as an ideal woman) was clear.

(9)  What does the catalogue named as 'Army and Navy' signify? What does cutting of 'Refrigerator'  signify

  Refrigerator in Army and Navy Stores catalogue On the one hand it is a tool for conserving food, and as such a symbol of preservation. Refrigerators slow down and stave off decay.  Against that, the refrigerator is also a symbol of change, of technology changing and presumably improving human culture. The refrigerator is an instrument of science, and it occupies the same sphere as the lighthouse. It could be viewed as a domestic lighthouse of sorts. 

Refrigerator in Army and Navy Stores catalog  James is guided in his choice by Mrs. Ramsay.  and it should therefore be associated with her, and with her role as a preserver and shape of culture  Mrs. Ramsay is repeatedly shown as someone who is training and shaping her children’s minds, and her approach to her daughters differs from her approach to her sons. She wants her daughters and the women around her to support and sustain men, while she wants the men to be a success in the public sphere.

Thank you...
