摘要在伍尔夫的文学作品中，存在着大量对人的内心世界和无意识领域的描述，与弗洛伊德的精神分析学说有很多契合之处，本文以其随性而就的《奥兰多》为个案，以自我身份认同问题的探讨为切入点，一方面挖掘出该文本最深层的结构脉络;另一方面对小说中体现的弗洛伊德学说因素进行解读;再者结合伍尔夫本人的人生经历，以证实《奥兰多》使作者压抑的欲望得以宣泄，展现了她矛盾的多重人格。本文将结合弗洛伊德的精神分析学，探讨伍尔夫的《奥兰多》的时代精神及其时代意义，更深入地了解伍尔夫的作品以及伍尔夫作为现代女性主义文学批评的鼻祖对历史的贡献。

Title: Androgyny: Reflection of the Spirit of the Age in Orlando
Abstract
Virginia Woolf’s literary works are abundant in the description of human being’s inner world and unconsciousness, which are coincident with Freudian psychoanalysis. This essay, by taking Woolf’s Orlando as an example, begins with the textual analysis of the formal structure of the novel. Then it goes further to analyze the novel in terms of Freudian concepts. Finally, Woolf’s personal experience is examined in order to prove that the author’s sexual ambivalence is unconsciously reflected in the novel. Orlando is treated to a full paragraph of selfhood and the fullest expression of her alternating personality. This paper expects not only to shed new light on the novel itself but also probe into the relationship between Virginia Woolf’s literary creation and Freudian psychoanalysis. Meanwhile, I will employ Freud’s psychoanalysis to explore Woolf’s Orlando’s spirit of the times and the era. It will give us a deeper understanding of Woolf’s works and contemporary feminist literary criticism as the founder for historical significance.

1. Introduction
Orlando is a young noble man with beautiful face and tender feelings. He is born in an aristocratic family and is fond of nature and poem. At the same time, he is often eager to fight in the battle like his ancestors. At the age of sixteen, he becomes a minion of Queen Elizabeth I and receives a lot of largess. After Queen's death, Orlando falls in love with the Russian Princess, Sasha, at a winter carnival during the Great Frost of 1604. He plans to elope with her, but Sasha escapes with a soldier in the darkness. After being abandoned by Sasha, Orlando returns to his manor and soaks himself in writing.
Unfortunately, his works are satirized by a mean writer named Nicky Green. Disappointed both in love and poem, Orlando blocks himself and determines to spend the rest of his life with animals and nature. But this aspiration vanishes by the Archduchess who pursues him passionately. In order to escape from her, Orlando accepts the ambassadorship to Turkey. In Constantinople, Orlando changes his gender after having slept for seven days and remains a woman throughout the rest of the novel. After a temporary period living with gypsy, Orlando returns to England. There she has experienced the joy and frustration of being a woman. But literature is her ultimate pursuit. She has equipped with 18th famous writers, such as Swift, Pope and Addison. At first, she feels very happy and pleasant, but later she finds these great men are ordinary people and actually have many defects. This plot arouses Orlando's self-discovery as an independent woman writer. Then time goes into 19th century-the age of Victoria. Orlando gets married with a squire according to the spirit of the age and is able to finish her poem after that. Entering into 20th century, her poem "The Oak Tree" which takes nearly 400 years' time is published and makes Orlando a famous woman writer. At last, the story ends on 11th October, 1928, the same day as the book is written. The deliberately fanciful story mainly traces the adventures of Orlando, from the late 16th century to the present day, from a boy to a woman, and provides a history of the development of women writers in England and the informal literary history of England during these years. 雌雄同体《奥兰多》中时代精神的体现:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_12014.html
