Clarice Lispector e a linguagem: memórias metaforizadas em Felicidade clandestina, Restos do carnaval, Cem anos de perdão

Abstract

Clarice Lispector, through figurative language, makes his scriptural work an art of the word. Through the use of metaphorical expressions, it speaks, awakens diverse feelings and emotions. Its reading is disturbing, because it causes the triggering of different emotions in the reader. His way of narrating turns to the human being as a subject endowed with reason, but above all of emotion. In this way, his reading is sensitive which makes the metaphors used also sensitive because they are largely affective and subjective. In narrating the childhood memories, the author, through the three narrators, weaves her narratives through fiction, revealing sensuality and creativity. Memory, then, is related to the metaphor in the sense of unveiling another story contained in each tale, which goes beyond the word, which is hidden through them. The short stories analyzed in this study are gathered in one of his books: Clandestine Happiness. They are the composers of the study corpus: Clandestine Happiness, Carnival Remains, One Hundred Years of Forgiveness. By reading the stories and the relationship established between them and the literary theory that underlies the work, it was possible to arrive at some considerations about the relation between memory and metaphor, the second being a creative and sensitive resource for the expression of the first Which reinforces Clarice Lispector's sensitive ability to be a weaver of words.
