IN THE PLOTS OF DELICACY

the compass of pain in Sinfonia em Branco by Adriana Lisboa

Abstract

In the construction process of the character of a novel it is important to observe the status of this character in the definition of the narrative structure. Given their main traits, the characters are articulated like puzzles and their revelations, instead of calming the reader down, generate tensions, without which art would not survive. In this paper silence and interdict are categories the narrator uses to allow the readers to see what is left of two female characters that have a family history as a starting point. The variation in the point of view, filtered by a patriarchal domination model, makes the novel Sinfonia em Branco by Adriana Lisboa a narrative in which the feminine equals transgression, even without Manichaeism. and the author's poetic texture transfigures a profound and unspeakable pain into aesthetic delicacy.
