Rolando

Orlando, a handsome boy, was born in Elizabeth's time. At that time, he was favored by the queen, but when King James ruled, he returned to his country house and became the special envoy of Turkey because of his outstanding achievements. After spending the night with the dancers in Constantinople, I began to sleep for a few days. When I woke up, I was surprised to find that my body had become a woman except for my appearance. Then he left his official position and returned to the upper class of England. He met Pope and Edison successively, and finally married the captain, and experienced the life of being pregnant and having children. After middle age, he won many awards for his poetry with his literary experience and literary concept. What is even more amazing is that Elizabeth lived in Orlando for 400 years from16th century to 1928.

Men and women are opposites.

In the 1960s, feminist criticism prevailed in France. In "The Theory of Androcentrism", men and women are antagonistic. They call men positive values, while women are excluded. In order to maintain this opposition, men always emphasize that one side is superior to the other, while those who deconstruct women thoroughly criticize this opposing thinking.

In Orlando's life, this opposite situation is highlighted. The novel shows a deconstruction strategy on gender issues, which is full of ridicule for the traditional gender classification and fully embodies the male and female characteristics of Orlando. As a man, Orlando is a visionary who loves literature and is sentimental. After becoming a woman, he is full of frankness and generosity, adventurous but considerate, and prone to tears. So there are many similarities between men and women. In myths and legends, women are made of ribs in men's abdominal cavity. In Orlando, we finally understand the similarities between the two sexes, so that men can stop misunderstanding, prejudice and oppression of women.
