Main Article Content
Abstract
This article presents an analysis of the construction of the identity of the subject who speaks, feels, and suffers in the fictional narrative Novel of Cordelia (1998) by the Portuguese writer Rosa Lobato de Faria. The aim is to reflect on this construct within the literary work, focusing on the female figure that takes the lead in the novel. Throughout the text, it is noticeable that the situations experienced by Cordelia leave marks, which, according to the reflections of Elódia Xavier (2007), shape this female body as violated, subaltern, and disciplined. In order to achieve the intended goal, the reflections developed here sought theoretical support from studies on Gender, from Elisabeth Grosz (2000) e Michelle Perrot (2008), as well as on the body, addressing the theme of women in literature.
