TO THE LIGHTHOUSE: WOOLF’S SEARCH FOR THE MEANING OF LIFE THROUGH COLORS

Abstract

Commonly discussed as a product of the emotional and spiritual pain, Woolf’s To the Lighthouse has been also observed to be a representational vehicle employed to discuss the meaning of life through Woolf’s distinctive and subtle skill to use colors- which are external indicators of her inner realities, evoking various experiences and sensations. The connection between color and words is frequently addressed by Woolf in To the Lighthouse in which the size and movement of color shapes, explains, and intensifies the narrative. In the novel, the colors are perfect reflections of the eternal flux of time and life surrounding characters’ inner thoughts to represent the uninterrupted continuity of human life and the meaning of life behind.This paper aims to explore Woolf’s representations of colors expressing her search for the meaning of life, and consider how Woolf incorporated words and colors into these representations. To answer the question “What is the meaning of life?” and to deepen the argument in detail, Terry Eagleton’s The Meaning of Life will be taken as a reference shedding light on the colors employed by Woolf as a meaning of life.
