THE SEARCH OF LANGUAGE IN THE SILENCE OF FIRES IN LÍDIA JORGE AND CLARICE LISPECTOR
Abstract
In Lídia Jorge’s short novel “Marido” and in Clarice Lispector’s play “A pecadora queimada e os anjos harmoniosos” we see two female characters who certainly lived without a voice and finally found in death their last and painful possibility of having a speech. If it is true that they both die in an uneven struggle with male’s power, it is also clear their effort to search, from the shadows, a place where some breathing is possible in this phallocentric world.
