About This Novel
"To the Lighthouse" describes the life of Professor Ramsay's family and a few close friends on vacation on a Scottish island after the First World War. The author attempts to explore the meaning of life and the nature of the self in this novel with a very simple plot, pointing out that it is possible for the self to escape the clutches of the endless passing time and survive forever despite the threat of death. The flash of the lighthouse spire symbolizes the light of Ramsey's soul. The stream-of-consciousness writing techniques in this book are very noteworthy, such as perspective switching, two times, symbolic techniques, musical structure, drawing reference from paintings, etc.
