Abstract

Orlando is a romantic and imaginative work written by Virginia Woolf in which the protagonist Orlando has lived for 400 years and experienced the change of gender from male to female. He is a representative of androgyny in literature by whom Woolf wants to stress the importance of the balance between men' thinking and women' thinking. From this point of view, this paper will analyze the concept of androgyny in Orlando and its practical significance.
