4. Mrs. Ramsay
● This novel woolf try to give ideas about traditional woman and rational
means Modern woman. Mrs. Ramsay emerges from the novel’s opening
pages not only as a woman of great kindness and tolerance but also as a
protector.
●Indeed, her primary goal is to preserve her youngest son James’s sense of
hope and wonder surrounding the lighthouse.
●Though she realizes that Mr. Ramsay is correct in declaring that foul
weather will ruin the next day’s voyage, she persists in assuring James that
the trip is a possibility.
●She does so not to raise expectations that will inevitably be dashed, but
rather because she realizes that the beauties and pleasures of this world
are ephemeral and should be preserved, protected, and cultivated as much
as possible.
●So deep is this commitment that she behaves similarly to each of her
guests, even those who do not deserve or appreciate her kindness.

●As Lily Briscoe notes in the novel’s final section, Mrs. Ramsay feels
the need to play this role primarily in the company of men.
● She believes, leaves them vulnerable and in need of constant
reassurance, a service that women can and should provide. Although
this dynamic fits squarely into traditional gender boundaries, it is
important to note the strength that Mrs. Ramsay feels.
● At several points, she is aware of her own power, and her posture
is far from that of a submissive woman. Lily and other characters
find themselves grasping for this unity after Mrs. Ramsay’s death.

6. Lily Briscoe
●She is a passionate artist and her passion is her painting.
●She was independent woman and she was free minded woman. Conventional femininity, represented by
Mrs. Ramsay in the form of marriage and family, confounds Lily, and she rejects it.
●The recurring memory of Charles Tansley insisting that women can neither paint nor write deepens her
anxiety.
●By the end of the novel, Lily, a serious and diligent worker, puts into practice all that she has learned from Mrs.
Ramsay. Much like the woman she so greatly admires, she is able to craft something beautiful and lasting from
the ephemeral materials around her—the changing light, the view of the bay. Her artistic achievement suggests
a larger sense of completeness in that she finally feels united with Mr. Ramsay and the rational, intellectual
sphere that he represents.
