A Bridge of Ideas

Your 5-star immersion in the internal world of Jane Eyre, despite noting Orlando's 'weirdness,' highlights a shared, profound engagement with selfhood and identity. You've intuitively recognized how both Bronte's intensely personal narrative and Woolf's protean exploration of consciousness, even with its structural unfamiliarity (as per your note), grapple with the fluidity of self across time and social constraint, suggesting a deep-seated fascination with the hidden, evolving architecture of the individual soul.
