Sleep With Classic Books

Orlando: A Biography by Virginia Woolf (1928)


Listen Later

In the hushed corridors of time, we weave through the kaleidoscope of Virginia Woolfs Orlando, where characters transcend mere narrative roles to embody the swirling complexities of identity and societal roles. We linger in the luminous presence of Orlando, a soul who crosses centuries and shifts forms, from male to female, reflecting the mutable nature of self in the mirror of epochs. Around Orlando gather figures rich in symbolism—the regal Queen Elizabeth, the enigmatic Sasha, the transformative Archduke Harry—each adding strokes to the portrait of gender fluidity and societal expectations. As the night deepens, let us unravel these intricate layers, where every character holds a key to understanding the vast, ever-changing expanse of human identity.
