Lighthouse

The shocking transformations that the process of being an ideal woman, being a wife, and being a mother creates in the modern subject are told in The Lighthouse. Mrs. Ramsay, one of the main characters of the novel, is responsible for maintaining these three ideals simultaneously, especially in the nightmarish flow of daily life. The states required by the ideal, such as liveliness, sincerity, compassion, frugality, productivity and nurturing, are actually life-consuming. But Virginia Woolf reverses these consuming qualities on the plane of aesthetic and political representation and throws the dice on the affirmation, transformation and continuation of life in every situation. The Lighthouse, one of the masterpieces of the twentieth century, also has a utopian character: Even if the world is dark and pain and gloom overshadow the joys, the "lighthouse" is there, the light is there; In the tension of death and love, Woolf cautiously bends the needle towards love:

At a moment when broken enthusiasm was being sincerely told about a great passion, a love that was a lie, she would not speak at all, even though she could have easily said that she also knew, felt and experienced this feeling. . He always remained silent... Love pains that usually make themselves felt in silence, broken passions, utopian desires that are born and die but are permanent... These are just some of the human situations that Lighthouse sheds light on...
