UMA ANÁLISE DA CONSTRUÇÃO DAS PROTAGONISTAS DO ROMANCE AS MENINAS – LYGIA FAGUNDES TELLES

Abstract

This present paper aims to, make an analysis about the three protagonists of the writing As Meninas (1973) from Lygia Fagundes Telles.We will analyze the moral construction of each one, based on the transformations of the female universe that, at that moment, ratified important achievements, such as freedom of thought and individual achievement. For this, this analysis will be based on feminist literary criticism, focusing on the approaches of Brazilian researchers from the ANPOLL WG, Women and Literature, such as: Lúcia Zolin, Rita T. Schmidt, Susana Funk, as well as studies on the History of women in Brazilian context of the seventies of the twentieth century. The analysis of the characters will be focused on the way they behave morally in face of the freedom of choices that women have achieved in the current society, since sexual freedom was under debate in society, and, women claimed the right to make their choices with more autonomy.
