To the lighthouse  by Virginia Woolf

  

 To the light house is a 1927 novel by Virginia Woolf. The novel focuses on the Ramsays and their visits to the Isle of Skye in Scotland somewhere around 1910 and 1920.

“To the Lighthouse”(1927) is a novel of childhood, a summer house, intellectual life and art. In which the passage of time is set by the consciousness of the characters rather than the big bong of a clock. The events of a single afternoon are narrated in over half the book, while the events of the following ten years are compressed in few pages. In the novel nothing happens actually; all the events take place in the characters’ minds.

  Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse that deals with the topic of how the characters establish relationships among them, and how they are many times unsuccessful. What this analysis will try to add is report how gender roles expectations play a crucial part in the inadequacy of character relationships in the novel. Also, to answer how these conflicts are resolved, or not resolved, in the novel.
