Virginia Woolf, This topic is strongly linked to time, and as such…

- - - - Orlando Is extremely linked to (in my opinion) one of Woolf's best used features, of stream of consciousness. Orlando could honestly be linked to so many more nodes, but I feel these are the main points. Especially considering the switches in gender, Orlando certainly engrosses the reader in her thoughts
- - - - I also think Mrs. Dalloway can be discussed in relation to these nodules -- specifically, the various relationships between the characters and from different points of view. The presentation of yourself in any way is certainly a main theme in Mrs. Dalloway, and I think time fits in quite well when the varying characters contemplate their pasts, as well as especially Septimus' struggles with his mental health due to his past and his history. I have linked some formal features as well, because the use of those is integral to Mrs. Dalloway as a novel.
- - - - Queerness and mental health are two issues that are not discussed largely in any specific work, but In my opinion Orlando most greatly encompasses this issue, where Orlando's mental health is not significantly compromised by any reaction to her gender, but the issue can certainly be joined together considering modern implications
      - Three Guineas is overall most linked to feminism and mental health, and I have also linked the formal feature of POV, differing from many of Woolf's other uses of point of view as it is all (or mostly) from her perspective as she discusses war and feminism. A link that is important to include are that of power struggles, especially between the genders.
      - On Seeing Illness was a secondary piece that discussed epidemics in Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway. Originally, I didn't quite know where to place this work in context of the various nodes. Upon rereading the piece, I realised that mental health is a focus yes, but also presentation of the self is utilised, especially as Woolf directly (or indirectly) draws links between the epidemic, the war, and mental illness -- the latter two subjects significantly impacting the characters in Mrs. Dalloway. I would say that this piece also connects to metaphor, because the illness itself might be drawn as a parallel to mental health -- sickness in both ways.
      - The Sense of Unending, in my opinion, is a piece that heavily focuses on Woolf's mental health and her personal life outside of Orlando, and how parallels are dfrawn, Due to this, I have connected it with metaphor, but also time. As the title suggests, time passing in Woolf's life as well as in Orlando is interestingly used as characters change, realistically or not. The silent question of this piece is of whether or not Orlando's seemingly inconclusive ending is a metaphor for feminism or activism in some way, and as such I have linked it to feminism.
