What effect does it have on the narrative of the text?  In Orlando, Virginia Woolf employs a unique and unconventional use of time, which profoundly influences the narrative. Here’s a structured analysis: Non-Linear Time Structure: Time Compression and Expansion: Woolf compresses over 400 years into Orlando's life, enabling the protagonist to live through multiple historical periods.
