Virginia Woolfs Orlando and the Relationship between Virginia and Vita
Virginia Woolfs Orlando and the Relationship among Virginia and VitaIt has been said the impudent Orlando is the longest love-letter ever indite a celebration of the bond between women. The relationship between Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West is come up documented and k instantlyn to have been intimate. That Virginia was passionate and giddy about her relationship with Vita is also known and displayed in Orlando. But Orlando also offers a high-flown intimate glimpse into the mind of Virginia Woolf. An unselfconscious work, it reveals her mind, talent at play. Orlando offers comfortable insights into her mind while keeping the rich prose that embodies her other great works. The novel demonstrates several of Virginias obsessions, the focus here on gender and sexuality. While forward to assume an authors life directly through her work, Virginia herself writes about this inevitable linkup in Orlando In short, every secret of a writers soul, every sire of his life, every q uality of his mind is written large in his works, nevertheless we require critics to explain the one and biographers to expound the other (Orlando 209).

And the person who inspired the book ... ...nergy of her relationship with Vita is unpatterned in the novel. She was to wrestle her demons in other books (To the Lighthouse as an example) in Orlando she celebrated. But in Virginias hands, even satire has its serious moments. I am writing Orlando half in mock style very lapse and plain, so that people will understand every word. But the remainder between uprightness and fantasy must be careful (Dairy 117). And now years later, critics are still trying to view in-between the truth and fiction and the enigma of Virginia Woolf. Works Cited Bond, Alma Halbert, Phd.
