Duas mulheres, dois mundos diferentes, um mesmo destino: análise dos contos "A fuga" de Clarice Lispector e "Eveline" de James Joyce

Abstract

Some writers in their texts call attention to female characters, in effort to question, throughout their work, the role of woman inside a specific society; that is what happens to James Joyce and Clarice Lispector, in their texts “Eveline” and “A fuga”, respectively. This work aims to analyze the development of the main characters from the two short stories, and their social relations, their fears and desires, to understand why these two women do not reach the top of their individual plans. Through a comparative study, we will show that the two characters are surrounded by a not-concrete chain that does not allow them to make their projects come true. Although they think, analyses their life, both characters are destined to abort their personal desires, once their relations do not allow them to give birth to their new project of existence.
