Representação da mulher na modernidade: investigação da personagem feminina Capitu

Abstract

This research addresses the construction of the character Capitu and her relationship with women in modernity, by making a parallel between the terms used in the literary work Dom Casmurro and with those found on Twitter to characterize the character, through a Thesaurus, whose objective is to explore the 19th century feminine vision marked in the writing of Machado de Assis. In addition, it analyzes the realistic aesthetic, together with the contemporary vision, its ambiguities, verisimilitudes and distances. Thus, it was established that the methodology of this study occurred through documentary and bibliographic research methods, of a descriptive and exploratory nature, in a qualitative approach. Finally, the work had as a final result the construction of a Thesaurus, where there is a parallel between the collected terms, corroborating the patriarchal female social idea, with roles and dynamics plastered. In Thesaurus, all selected terms were properly linked within the possible relationships that the tool allowed. Thus, it was possible to allow the appropriate investigations proposed to occur.
