Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2022, Vol 5, Issue 06

Abstract

As a representative work by Virginia Woolf, Orlando depicts the legendary life experience of Orlando, a nobleman, as long as four hundred years. Orlando grows up in self-contradiction and social contradiction, and finally realizes self-knowledge and the value of life. All characters in this work have distinctive characteristics, strong emotional color, revealing gender differences, reconstruction of gender by society and self and gender aesthetic diversity. Based on literature analysis and text research, this paper tries to use Woolf’s androgyny theory to analyze the gender fluid of protagonist in Orlando. The main purpose of the study is to help readers understand the work better, grasp deeper connotation of literary works and have a deeper comprehension of gender differences and the gender identity.
