Go to the Lighthouse
About This Novel
"We all perished, each perished alone." The story focuses on a period of life when Mr. Ramsay's family and several close friends went on holiday to a Scottish island. Mrs. Ramsay hears that the son of the lighthouse keeper across the sea has a hip problem and plans to visit the child the next day. However, the weather did not go as planned. There was a sudden violent storm at night, and the weather in the next few days was not suitable for going to sea. The trip to the lighthouse had to be canceled. Mrs. Ramsay couldn't help feeling that the unpredictable changes in the weather were really unpredictable, just like a marriage that she could not control. Boring mediocrity makes up most of our daily lives. The flash of the lighthouse spire in the distance symbolizes the light of Mrs. Ramsay's soul. Woolf explores how to find self and eternity in a chaotic, impermanent, and perishable life. Perhaps only by accepting the impermanence of things can the world be sober...
