This document presents statistical data comparing the characters of Mrs. Ramsay and Lily Briscoe from Virginia Woolf's novel To the Lighthouse. Various graphs show the percentage of times each character is mentioned, their presence by name, at the window, over time, in relation to the lighthouse, physically, and subconsciously. The conclusion is that while Lily is physically present more, Mrs. Ramsay is more present in people's conscious minds as she represents ideal womanhood, though it is difficult to escape societal expectations of gender.

11. So what ?
When we look at this we found that it is very
difficult to escape from culture content. In
eveyone’s conscious Mrs. Ramsay is more
present because she is ideal for womanhood.
Though Lily Brisco is physically more present she
wasn’t able to present in conscious mind
because she is not ideal woman.
