To the Lighthouse

5 moments of endless Epiphanies in the text :

1. ' that was of littel acocunt to her. if her husbadn required sacrifices (and indeed he did) she cheerfully offered up to him chalres tansley, who had snubbed her little boy.' pg 16

2. 'but this is what i see; this is what i see,' and so to clasp some miserable remnant of her vision to her breast, which a thousand forces did their best to luack form her.'

3. '.... on the plale semicircular beach, wave after wave shedding again and again smoothly, a film of mother of pearl.'

4. ' she could have wpet. it was bad, it was bad, it was infinitely bad! she could have done it differently of course; the colour could have been thinned and faded...'

5. 'But it had been seen; it had been taken from her. This man had shared with her something profoundly intimate.'

i just opened my book to 5 different pages and found moments of epiphany. i dont feel that i can really even comment on each line, because well... i just dont think that i am even close to being at woolfs level of one, writing, and two her understanding of all that writes about..... when reading through the lighthouse, i feel that all woolf says is an epiphanic moment.... throughout the entire novel one is able to open up another part of the character and you dont even realize that you are getting into that characters head ass much as you are as a reader..
