THE CHARACTER ORLANDO, A READER-RESPONSE REFLECTION
THE CHARACTER ORLANDO, A READER-RESPONSE REFLECTION

Summary/Abstract: The present paper is a reading of Virginia Woolf’s novel Orlando through the lenses of reader-response theory. The evolution of the character is analysed from a thematic perspective, where literary devices such as irony, repetition and description are used to frame the critical ideas reflected in the novel. The character construction responds to the modernist aesthetic of experimentation and novelty. Thus, the present study aims to offer a reflective interpretation that applies David Miall’s empirical approach in literature studies.
