They advocated an objective interpretation based solely on what was contained within the text itself.

Virginia wolf
1) Mr. Ramsay and Mrs. Ramsay take different approaches to life, with Mr. Ramsay relying on intellect and Mrs. Ramsay relying on emotions.
2) Only Lily Briscoe finds a way to preserve her experiences through her art, hoping to order and connect elements in her portrait that have no relation in the real world.
3) The lighthouse symbolizes different things to different characters - it can represent hope or frustration, and James comes to realize it has competing images that both contribute to its essence. Nothing can be defined by just one thing.

The modernist literature- to the lighthouse
- 1. ◆Name: Prinjal Shiyal S. ◆Email Id.: prinjal00123@gmail.com ◆Roll No: 26 ◆Enrollment No:- 2069108420190041 ◆Paper No: 09 - The Modernist Literature ◆Year : 2018-2020 ◆Course : M.A. Sem. ◆Submitted To: S. B. Gardi Department Of English, Maharaja Krishnkumarsinhji Bhavanagar University.
- 2. ◆Comparison between; 'To the lighthouse' & 'Diya aur Baati Hum.' "To The Lighthouse" by Virginia Woolf • The novel • In the move main characters like, • Mrs. Ramsay • Mr. Ramsay • Lily Briefje • James Ramsay "Diya Aur Baati Hum" created by Shashi Sumeet productions • In the Serial • Sandhya/ Deepika singh • Sooraj/ Anas Masjid • Santosh / Neelu vaghela
- 3. Traditional women vs Modarn woman. • Mrs. Ramsay • Lily Briscoe
- 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.
- 5. Continue... ●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.
- 7. ◆Diya Aur Baati Hum • Sandhya • Santosh
- 8. Serial's characters; • Sandhya • In this serial I finthd that the Protagonist character Sooraj's wife Sandhya is modern woman, rather than traditional mentality. • Santosh • Sandhya's mother - in - law is very traditional and typical Indian woman; like mrs. Ramsay.
- 9. ◆Novel's characters and Serial's characters • Traditional ideas follow by Mrs. Ramsay and Santosh. • Both are take care of their family and husband. • Modern life style and thoughts regarding to Lily Briscoe and Sandhya. • Lily and Sandhya both are free minded and they wanted to achieve their goal and
