Desejo e interdição no conto “felicidade clandestina”, de Clarice Lispector

Abstract

This research falls within the scope of literary studies, as it deals with the literary analysis of the narrative “Clandestine Happiness”, a short story by Clarice Lispector, present in the homonymous book, published in 1971. Like most of the present stories in the aforementioned work, “Clandestine Happiness” structures its narrative based on a pre-adolescence memory. For the literary analysis of the short story, the desire and the eroticism that involves the suffering the author goes through to get a loan with the daughter of a bookstore owner who develops pleasure in postponing the delivery of the book will be taken as a basis for the literary analysis of the short story. desired object. It can be seen, therefore, that the structure of the narrative mimics the passage from the “discontinuous” to the “continuous” or, even, from the “desire” to the “transgression”, in the mold of Bataille (1987), and that, in this way, it combines to history to compose the plot in the movement of structural reduction: internalization and externalization of the autonomous objects of the literary work (CANDIDO, 2017).
