Literatura brasileira: análise literária da identidade Feminina na obra Cais da Sagração de Josué Montello

Abstract

The present work approaches a reflexion on the Brazilian literature: literary analysis of Feminine identity in the work Cais da Sagração of Josué Montello. We analyze the historical context in which patriarchy emerged in Brazil, and its important influence in society up to the present day. In Brazil, despite living in the XXI century, there are still cases of patriarchal family, where the woman lives submissive to the man. In this context, it is noticed that although there are few studies about the subject, approached in this work. It highlights the trajectory of women's struggles in search of their space in society, in the midst of the predominant dominion of man. It is characterized in the work Cais da Sagração the patriarchal behavior in which the characters submit. It discusses the situation of women in various contexts, reporting the causes of their submission to man and the consequences of not submitting to the patriarch. The methodology used was the bibliographical research evidencing the ideas of some authors who deal with patriarchalism. It is hoped that through this research the reader will come to understand that the dominance of patriarchal man has been prevalent in society over the years, hence also being fought by feminist movements and other advocates of the right to gender equality.
