One of the issues that arises in To the Lighthouse is marriage and its effects on the individual. In The Window, the characters reflect on the marriages of the past (Mr. and Mrs. Bankes and Mr. and Mrs. Carmichael), present (Mr. and Mrs. Ramsay), and future (Paul and Minta and possibly Lily and Mr. Bankes) in order to determine if marriage hinders/helps the individual. Based on all of the characters’ perspectives, determine to what extent marriage brings fulfillment in The Window. You may want to think about the following as you craft a response:
-the individual’s own thoughts about his/her past, present, or future marriage(s)
-the other characters’ reactions to the above marital relationship
-the problems which affect the above relationships and the couple’s ability to solve these problems
Be prepared to share your thoughts to each of the above in a student generated online public discussion. For any assertion you make, be ready to provide the necessary evidence and support that aid you in making your points clearly and persuasively. This online discussion will be evaluated on your close analysis of the text. In other words, your ability to present a quotation and then analyze the implications of this quotation fully will be assessed.
