To the Lighthouse

In "To the Lighthouse", Virginia Woolf explores the fleeting nature of time, memory, and perception through the Ramsay family's visits to the Isle of Skye. The novel shifts between past and present, capturing inner thoughts, shifting perspectives, and the inevitability of change. Mrs. Ramsay's warmth contrasts with Mr. Ramsay's intellectual rigidity, while the long-awaited trip to the lighthouse becomes a metaphor for life's uncertainties.
