Detailed explanation-1: -Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse (1927) is concerned with the Victorian arrangement of patriarchal society, and it questions the distinction between men and women’s social roles. Throughout the novel, we find that there are two distinctive worlds: the world of men, the masculine, and the world of women, the feminine.
Detailed explanation-2: -Woolf began writing To the Lighthouse partly as a way of understanding and dealing with unresolved issues concerning both her parents and indeed there are many similarities between the plot and her own life.
Detailed explanation-3: -The narrative technique that Woolf uses for most of To the Lighthouse is normally called stream of consciousness. This technique was a product of Modernism, a literary movement characterized by introspection, self-awareness and an openness to the unconscious.
Detailed explanation-4: -To the Lighthouse (1924) is one of the most complex and accomplished novels to come out of the Modernist movement. Only Ulysses is more profound in its disregard for the rules of the novel, and its enjoyment for breaking the seemingly unbreakable rules of literature set in place during the Victorian era.
