In Orlando, Virginia Woolf explores the fluidity of gender and challenges the rigid gender norms. She examines the societal expectations and limitations imposed on both men and women through the gender transformation of Orlando. Woolf also critiques the gender arbitrariness of gender roles, suggesting that they are socially constructed rather than inherent. Orlando’s identity is portrayed as constant despite the change in gender, emphasising the idea that gender is not a fixed aspect of identity but rather a fluid and malleable construct.
