Passage from "To the Lighthouse" by Virginia Woolf

Passage: Mrs. Ramsay looked at the drawing - room window, where, sure enough, just as she said, the blind was down. She had been putting off that little job all day. She liked sitting up late; she liked the quietness of the night after the day's hubbub. But when she thought of the lighthouse, of the light going out at a certain hour in the darkness, of the keeper's thumb pressing the extinguishers, of the sudden blackness, she felt a pang of distress.

Options

Laziness in not doing the household chore.

Love for the noise of the day.

Complex emotions and sensitivity.

Indifference towards the lighthouse.
