Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse has gained wide recognition and is regarded by many scholars as her best work. This novel is looked upon as an autobiographical novel of her family, and generally considered to represent Woolf’s viewpoint on the relationship between two sexes. In addition to the feminist approach, this paper intends to study complex relations between male and female characters mainly from an archetypal perspective. Based on the study of archetypes in both sexes, we find that the main characters come through various psychological changes, so that their relations can be summed up respectively, as cooperative and finally harmonious.
