A hora da estrela: um estudo acerca de classes sociais e condição feminina na narrativa de Clarice Lispector

Abstract

This work is a study about the book "A Hora da Estrela", by Clarice Lispector, whose analysis focuses on the representation of coexistence between social classes and women's status through the study of the characters of the narrative. Starting from the protagonist analysis Macabéa, which summarizes the reality of many Brazilian oppressed and excluded by the various inequalities that affect them are also examined other characters besides the narrator Rodrigo S.M. The research provides a brief overview of the historical conflict in Brazil and the consequences of the military dictatorship and industrialization, as well as provides an overview of the main critics of the author. Therefore, this work uses a theoretical contribution of authors such as Benedito Nunes, Regina Dalcastagné, Neiva Pitta Kadota and other scholars of Clarice's literature that allowed a social-literary research through the paths taken within the work.
