If we give critical analysis of this character, we can say that we don't always live our life for others because in our life dreams, hopes and desires also. If we compare the character Mrs. Ramsay with Lily Briscoe so, we can say that Lily is a free minded women. She is a painter and she always thinks live alone. If we look at her as Ideal Indian woman so she is perfect in that image.
