 Introduction  

         Virginia woolf  is a great  novelist of modern age but as we know that  modern literature is little bit hard to  understand. One have to  think on particular written. To the  lighthouse is the work by  Woolf. In this week see the  style of Stream of consciousness and critic said that Woolf is very good in that one. But when the matter coming on psychology or mentally that time we have many  different perspective and interpretation. So here this blog is also about the fram study of movie  on this novel and  also identify and write on..... 

1) Reference to Shakespeare 

2) Reference to India

3) Reference to philosophy 

Movie screening

* Is the beginning of the novel and the film adaptation similar or some artistic liberty is taken by the film makers?

Yes we can see that here film maker taken liberty to show his own creativity.when movie begin we can see that James seeing the something and then the picture of light house is coming with music.

At the dinner table James scring his father and eating the nail. Because he wants to go lighthouse but that wish is still not fulfill.He doesn't like his father and in this movie also we see that every child of Mr. Ramsay doesn't like his father some way they feel fear and hateness in their heart.

Mrs. Ramsay is talking with  James and from the bush daughter of her she is looking them that we can  see through the camera focus. 

          Lily Brisco is thinking about the sea. teams with eternal life yet threatens with oblivion.she always try to find subjects for drawing, picture and in other words for her vision. She has that artist quality that we can find through her words and work. She said that James is like a kite. Her focus is also on Mrs. Ramsay ,what she is doing and how.

She also made the argument with Charles Tansley when he gave his statement that woman can not be write and be artist. So she has courage also to say your are giving just opinion but it is not true.

      

                      Time is slipping.. 

       

          Charles Tansley and Mr. Ramsay  here talking about the time  important. So,  Tansley got chance to say that chack my dessertation and thesis because time is so much precious and he can not waste it here with his family. He has family too, which he left for his work. Once he  became so much furious on Mr. Ramsay. 

           James has a heartly wish to go  lighthouse.so whenever he sees the lighthouse he stand there and contionusly looking towards it. That time  we can see that the object or main  focus is lighthouse and why? But I should say  that we come to know about  at the end. In novel also  James feels positive attitude at end. When he  come to  truth. 

Mrs. Ramsay  looking herself into mirror. That  time we come to  know that now she is near to  her end. She  also said to  Miss lily  that  on her  face there is only  ash. She is not  beautiful or  feel younger. And after some  time she die. And  everything is  ruin. Specially the household. 

 

         Here at night Mrs. Ramsay is came she said that shut a door keep the window open.  to Lily they are talking about the marriage and responsibility .Mrs. Ramsay said that she is poor and Lily said  Why she is poor because she has not hasbund and children that's why she is not complete that is not true. This type of talking is happening  between them .

 Here Miss Lily is trying to to understand the landscape. As we know that  Woolf also against of discrimination between Man and woman she wrote on that as well. So here through this character we got some light on that. Here she thinking about male artist and landscape as male but she asked her self that "How I can understand?"

     This is the  ending of movie. Mr. Ramsay and James going to  the lighthouse and Lily drawing pictures of house,after many times she  try and try and then she recall the past. She thinking about Mrs. Ramsay and that time she find out her focus. Once when she saw Mrs Ramsay when  Mrs Ramsay saying that  "Anyone seeing James.. ", Shut the door but keep open the window"  that time  Lily thought that is my  focus that we can see at end that she  portray her picture and after that she got her vision and a kind of happiness, apart from that  James went to the lighthouse not with mother but with Father and he thought that his father is not as bad as he thought. 

This is the scene, it is last scene of movie.Ramsay family and Lily  again went to the summer house. Mr. Ramsay and James went to  lighthouse and lily  try to drawing the sketch but in one or two time  she didn't get satisfied then  she drawing the picture of Mrs Ramsay. She got her vision and James also find that his wish is come true. 

Now time  to  see the  reference so let's have look on that... 

Reference to  India 

India is ruled by the men-folk.

India is exotic place where there is great romance, adventure and happiness.

Augustus Carmichael’s going to India is considered as some sort of achievement.

India is referred to as a place of desire. . . a desire to visit.

Made in India jewelry is a thing to be possessed – owned with pride.

Some land which is far away – unknown land, the exotic

      We can see into e-text  there is reference of Indian in context of negotiation and treaties, and context of controlled finance We know that British ruled over India.

   When they are talking about the chivalry that time we can find reference of India that  it is under the  Urope Empire. 

Reference to Shakespeare 

    The Times about the number of Americans who visit Shakespeare's house every year. If the Shakespeare exist ask many questions about the progress about the Civilization about the different culture or changes which we can see after him.

would the world have differed much from what it is today? Does the progress of civilization depend upon great men? Is the lot of the average human being better now than in the time of the Pharaohs? Is the lot of the average human being, however, he asked himself, the criterion by which we judge the measure of civilization?

       Possibly not. Possibly the greatest good requires the existence of a slave class. The liftman in the Tube is an eternal necessity. The thought was distasteful to him. He tossed his head. To avoid it, he would find some way of snubbing the predominance of the arts. He would argue that the world exists for the average human being; that the arts are merely a decoration imposed on the top of human life; they do not express it. Nor is Shakespeare necessary to it. Not knowing precisely why it was that he wanted to disparage Shakespeare and come to the rescue of the man who stands eternally in the door of the lift, he picked a leaf sharply from the hedge.

Reference to philosophy :

Mr Ramsay  talking about the Bradley he made a point that the more we consider matter that less able we are to grasp it our analysis is destructive we go on slicing away object  in the world separating characteristics describing its as through we were condemned to advance each time, half the distance covered by the presenting step Bradley insist that to pass beyond physical analysis we need a metaphysical system it completes the process of perception and then we arrived we cannot plan our lives around what we wants to do.

    This  is  the talk which is delivered by Mr. Ramsay when every one is at dinner table and  he and Charlse Tansley discuss on thesis and research. That  time  Ramsay talking on Bradly.
