Abstract

Very little endures in Virginia Woolf's To the lighthouse; by the third book most of the characters have died tragic and largely overlooked deaths, or they have disappeared almost without mention. Only two characters, the neurotic philosopher Mr. Ramsay and the lone artist Lily Briscoe are central to the entire book. They are also both set apart from the other characters in another way; they are both disconnected from other people by their work. Their work is so deeply a part of them that they take on the characteristics of and become representative of their representative callings. Their interactions represent not only Virginia Woolf's views about the nature of art and truth, but also her feelings about the work itself.
