PEREIRA, Eliane Fittipaldi. What doubt can there be?. J. psicanal. [online]. 2021, vol.54, n.100, pp. 247-255. ISSN 0103-5835.

In her novel Orlando: a biography, Virginia Woolf deconstructs the sexual dichotomies that restrict human desire and freedom. Knowing how complex sexuality is, she produces the body of her protagonist by the means of an ironical language that criticizes the stereotypes formed by the concepts that categorize the human beings into two distinct genders in the patriarchal occidental society.

Keywords : gender binarism; deconstruction; irony; character; ambiguity.
