Resumo: Este artigo aborda como é atualizado, no Grande sertão: veredas, um motivo fundamental para a tragédia Rei Lear: a escolha amorosa envolvendo três mulheres relacionadas ao ouro, à prata e ao chumbo. A simbologia subjacente aos metais é determinante para a caracterização das personagens femininas tanto do romance quanto da tragédia, analisadas, aqui, em perspectiva comparativa. Em Rei Lear, os metais preciosos, o ouro e a prata, estão associados a Goneril e Reagan, as filhas más que herdam o reino, enquanto Cordélia, a filha bondosa e preferida do rei, é representada pelo chumbo e acaba deserdada. Em Grande sertão: veredas, o ouro e a prata figuram na caracterização de Nhorinhá, a prostituta por quem Riobaldo se apaixona, e Otacília, sua esposa, enquanto Diadorim, o verdadeiro amor, está relacionado ao chumbo e permanece sublimado. Assim, os metais preciosos simbolizam, em ambas as obras, o equívoco amoroso, enquanto o chumbo guarda a mulher certa – Cordélia na tragédia, e Diadorim no romance. Diadorim e Cordélia possuem, ainda, outras analogias: ambas são filhas de grandes líderes, dedicam fidelidade irrestrita ao pai, possuem ligação com o arquétipo da donzela-guerreira e suas mortes representam momentos de anagnórisis para Riobaldo e Lear.Palavras-chave: literatura comparada; Grande sertão: veredas; João Guimarães Rosa; Rei Lear; William Shakespeare.Abstract: This article discusses how it is updated, in Grande sertão: veredas, a fundamental theme for the tragedy King Lear: the love choice involving three women related to gold, silver and lead. The symbology related to the metals is decisive for the characterization of the female characters of both the novel and the tragedy, analyzed here, in a comparative perspective. In King Lear, the precious metals, gold and silver, are associated with Goneril and Reagan, the evil daughters who inherit the kingdom, while Cordelia, Lear’s kind and preferred daughter, is represented by lead and ends up disinherited. In Grande sertão: veredas, gold and silver emerge in the characterization of Nhorinhá, the prostitute with whom Riobaldo falls in love, and Otacília, his wife, while Diadorim, the true love, is related to lead, and remains sublimated. Thus, the precious metals, in both works, symbolize the loving mistake, while the lead keeps the right woman – Cordelia, in the tragedy, and Diadorim in the novel. Diadorim and Cordélia also have other analogies: both are daughters of great leaders, dedicate unrestricted fidelity to their father, have a connection with the warrior-maiden archetype, and their deaths represent moments of anagnorisis for Riobaldo and Lear.Keywords: comparative literature; Grande sertão: veredas; João Guimarães Rosa; King Lear; William Shakespeare.

The study of Maïssa Bey’s novel Surtout ne te retourne pas allows to examine how the Francophone novel represents an earthquake as a poetic, metaphorical and political shockwave. The novel is part of a literary tradition but also shows the singularity of the writing and the engagement of the Algerian novelist Maïssa Bey. It allows to examine the feminine agentivity in the context of the disaster camps in Algeria: from the ravaged space/country emerge the voices of women who enter into resistance to improvise, invent their lives and their identities. The earthquake allows them to free themselves, to take a subversive point of view at society and their status as women in an oppressive patriarchal society. The staged female characters arrogate to themselves the right to reread history and take their destiny back.

Women’S Agency

Frances Burney’s novel Evelina follows a young woman through a series of mortifying social interactions, all of which point to a layered concept of women’s agency and the popular perceptions of autonomy during the eighteenth century. Women’s agency in Evelina can be classified as physical agency, emotional agency, or elite agency. Each form of agency is then characterized by the female characters of the lower, middle, or upper classes within the novel. Burney’s uncouth characterization of the lower classes corresponds with physical agency, or the physical ability to create agency outside of social expectations, while elite agency allows upper-class and aristocratic women to act as they wish without public censure. Middle-class Evelina’s emotional agency, accessible to readers through the epistolary format of the novel, relies on her understanding of propriety, sensibilities, and interpersonal connections as a means of navigating social situations and class mobility. Burney’s tiered construction of women’s agency reinforces the importance of sensibility and emotional honesty across highly gendered class lines.

Ghazaleh Alizadeh is an Iranian female writer and critic. In the novel of “House of Edrisis”, which is one of her most important works, she shows her feminist thinking in various ways. In this work, she criticizes the culture of patriarchy, marriage, and motherhood. In addition, judicial and legal laws, such as permission for polygamy, are challenged by Alizadeh in this work. She believes that patriarchy has intruded the mind of the society members, including men and women, and one way to clear the minds of people of this concept is respecting and honoring women. She also demands equal rights for women in terms of the right to education and the right to work. Evaluation of female characters in this work reveals that Roxana (the symbol of liberal feminist women) is the ideal character of Alizadeh, and Mrs. Edrisi and Ligha, who were submissive women in the patriarchy culture, start to fight along with men. According to Alizadeh, the only way for victory of women is their acquaintance with their abilities and rights and ending patriarchal domination. In this paper, we analyze her thoughts with regard to the different feminist doctrines

This research article focuses on the theme of violence and its representation by the characters of the novel “This Savage Song” by Victoria Schwab. How violence is transmitted through genes to next generations and to what extent socio- psycho factors are involved in it, has also been discussed. Similarly, in what manner violent events and deeds by the parents affect the psychology of children and how it inculcates aggressive behaviour in their minds has been studied. What role is played by the parents in grooming the personality of children and ultimately their decisions to choose the right or wrong way has been argued. In the light of the theory of Judith Harris, this research paper highlights all the phenomena involved: How the social hierarchy controls the behaviour. In addition, the aggressive approach of the people in their lives has been analyzed in the light of the study of second theorist Thomas W Blume.

Feminist critics have celebrated Kate O'Brien's pioneering approach to gender and sexuality, yet there has been little exploration of her innovations of the coming-of-age narrative. Creating a modern Irish reworking of the Bildungsroman, O'Brien's heroines represent an idealized model of female identity-formation which stands in sharp contrast to the nationalist state's vision of Irish womanhood. Using Franco Moretti's theory of the Bildungsroman, a framing of the genre as a thoroughly ‘modern’ form of the novel, this article applies a critical Marxist lens to O'Brien's output. This reading brings to light the ways in which the limitations of the Bildungsroman work to constrain O'Brien's subversive politics. Their middle-class status remains an integral part of the identity of her heroines, informing the forms of liberation they seek. Fundamentally, O'Brien's idealization of aristocratic culture, elitist exceptionalism and ‘detachment of spirit’ restricts the emancipatory potential of her vision of Irish womanhood.
