Violência psicológica ou busca pela felicidade? uma leitura de Um judeu na minha cama de Lília Silva

Abstract

This article presents a study on the psychological violence suffered by the character Luana, in the dramaturgical book Um Judeu na minha cama (1976), by contemporary writer Lília Silva. Gad, a successful businessman with a traditionalfamily, has been in a relationship for almost twenty years with Luana, his lover, who spends most of the work isolated in an apartment, living submissively to her partner'sorders and humiliation. At each meeting between them, the couple discusses the existential dramas that occur in both their lives. From these dialogues, the objective is to analyze whether Gad's quest to be happy does not become psychological violence, experienced by Luana. Literary study is based on psychoanalytic and philosophicaltheories aligned with Literature, based on the theories of Pierre Bourdieu (2019), Ginzburg (2012), Freud (1986) and Schopenhauer (2005).
