《到灯塔去》是弗吉尼亚·伍尔芙意识流的代表作。在二十世纪漫无边际的璀璨星空中，即使是乔伊斯，普鲁斯特等人的光芒也无法掩盖伍尔芙的存在。

生命总是用来叹息的。如果没有这么细碎的言语和情节，到不到灯塔去都无所谓，毕竟，它就仅仅是一个有着黄色眼镜的灰色人。可是，它在瞭望，在黑夜中指明方向，如同拉姆齐夫人人性的光辉在闪耀，让人憧憬和向往。热爱生命，尊重生命来得不但不易，在时光的流逝中我们更得抓紧去学习。文中有一段：拉姆齐夫人经常觉得，一个人为了使自己从孤独寂寞之中解脱出来，总是要勉强抓住某种琐碎的事物，某种声音，某种景象。我猜想，人们做的目的，无非就是寻找存活下去的意义，在细缝中看见天地，为了活着，却不辜负活着本身。

詹妮特·温特森《守望灯塔》：“灯塔是茫茫黑暗中的一个已知点。”

普尤讲述了灯塔的历史，讲述了那些落水的船员怎样靠讲故事活了下来，讲述了灯塔的建造者达克家族的故事。那些故事像一座更高更亮的灯塔，温暖着银儿的心。 “你想象一下，”普尤说，“一边有狂风暴雨冲击你，另一边有礁石在威胁你，而能救你的就是那么一盏灯。” 终于银儿学会了讲自己的故事，这些故事是关于爱。作为女主人公身份的银儿与作为女作家身份的温特森，爱与爱的失落是她们最为关心的主题，这一切均与她们的孤儿身份和爱的缺失有关。当拉斯角的灯塔进行自动化改造后，普尤与银儿以讲故事构筑的脆弱的童话世界被震碎，随着普尤牵着狗狗悄然失踪，银儿开始了独立成长与寻找普尤的孤独旅程。

银儿的故事穿插了《圣经》故事、中世纪浪漫传奇与历史人物故事，作品的叙述体现出多维性，小说也同样呈现出多维的主题，爱，只是一个显在的主题，在爱的主题背后，灯塔的意向，“茫茫黑夜的一个已知点”，灯塔象征了一种高贵的精神、品质和人性之美，也象征了人类的孤独，普尤的孤独、达克的孤独，也是银儿的孤独。灯塔是矛盾的，它坚固，但也脆弱，银儿走向灯塔的过程，是精神的一个旅程，最后她在灯塔看到了失踪的普尤和一只小船，看着他们消失在茫茫海上。银儿明白她的爱并没有失去，正如达克揣着海马化石走入海浪，普尤和船驶向海洋，世间万物没有消失，而是以一种新的形式呈现并存在于永恒的时间之中。

“准备去哪儿？”

“慢慢走，去一个叫乌斯怀亚的地方。”

“冷冷的，去干吗？”

“听说那边是世界尽头，有个灯塔，失恋的人都喜欢去，说把不开心的东西留下。” ——《春光乍泄》

年复一年，乌斯怀亚灯塔依然拥着“世界尽头”这个美名，传奇般地留存在世人脑海里。尽管乌斯怀亚灯塔并非生得非比寻常，但它那简简单单、正红正白相互偎依的通俗形象却一直标签似地频频出没于无数的明信片或者风光照片中。

阿根廷一直向南，南的尽头就是这个叫做乌斯怀亚的小城———火地岛的首府，也是通往南极洲最主要的门户。这里曾经是重刑犯的流放地，却因为囚徒们的伐林修路而成了一个美丽的城市，如今，已经纯净到让人窒息。小小的城市沿比格尔海峡修建而成，海峡的出口通向南极，正对苍茫海天，背倚雪山冰河，几乎可以与世隔绝。扬帆出海乘风破浪，或者踏上绵延十几公里的海洋冰川冰舌，抑或从雪峰上踏着滑板飞驰而下……沿着海峡，迎着海风在太平洋和大西洋的分界线上穿行，就能找寻到那座传奇的灯塔。
