Cho, Han-Sun. “The Relationship between To the Lighthouse and “The Fisherman and His Wife” ”. Modern Studies in English Language & Literature 57.1 (2013): 221-40. This study examines the relationship between one of the misogynic fairy tales, The Fisherman and His Wife and To the Lighthouse. Mrs Ramsay, one of the protagonists in To the Lighthouse, reads the fairy tale to James, her youngest son. The fairy tale conveys a patriarchal ideology: the world would be in danger and perished if women`s desires were not restrained. Although Mrs. Ramsay does not support the ideology, nor is she able to protest, subvert or transcend it. Because she is ``an angel in the house``, she is conditioned not to say what she feels, what she thinks and what she wants. Nevertheless, Woolf makes her instill Lily and Minta representing the next generation with the ideology. Even she seems to preach marriage life to them to stabilize the patriarchal society. At last one of Woolf`s personas, Lily overcomes the ideology, realizes her wish and achieves her success in being a painter on her own. As Lily finishes her picture, Woolf herself completes her novel overcoming her traumatic childhood. (Kyonggi University)
