Very interesting and fantastical book so far. She throws it in with the very flowery language about a very pretty boy who ends up being a Casanova and then spends way too many pages talking about a mythical freeze that freezes even people.
It’s also interesting the sassy stereotype that some of these more flamboyant 19th century characters adhere to

Orlando has a very interesting reflection and line about life here but I don’t love Shel’s random inclusion into the story

I think this might be my favorite chapter so far. Chapter 4. Orlando kind of just goes on loving their life while trying to find meaning in it as well as reflect on the differences within their new found sex. It reads in a lovely way and offers a perspective that is not typically seen

The segment in p74/75 about TRUTH and nothing but was very interesting. And the line Virginia gives about man and his desire to impose one’s views on others stemming from the differences between Orlando and the Gypsies as well as the nouveau rich stuff as pretty interesting.
Not to mention Orlando turning into a woman and it being a non-consequential plot point, at least as of now, is pretty silly.

Poor Orlando. From existential dread to a romantic betrayal (that he lowkey deserved) and now becoming bored with every facet of life.
Woolf writes this in such an interesting way because she keeps breaking the fourth wall and it makes my engagement with this not so easy. Although I suppose that’s my fault as I think this is supposed to be a biography?
