Is the role of art to transfigure everyday life, according to these authors?

Woolf and Proust are both fascinated by the language of everyday experience, and their novels are full of unexceptional acts like falling asleep, eating a pastry or a beef stew, knitting a stocking, or reading a book. Write an essay comparing Woolf’s treatment of the ordinary in To the Lighthouse to Proust’s treatment of it in “Combray.” Is the role of art to transfigure everyday life, according to these authors? Or does it simply bear witness to momentary illuminations, matches struck in the dark?If you prefer, you may focus this topic on either Proust OR Woolf rather than comparing them.
