VIOLÊNCIA CONTRA A MULHER NA FICÇÃO DE MARIA JOSÉ SILVEIRA

Abstract

This article brings some reflections on the themes of submission, silencing and violence against women: physical, sexual and psychological and feminicide from the analytical reading of two characters from the novel The mother of his mother and his daughters, (2002), by Maria José Silveira. We intend to show how the characters appear submissive to men and suffer different types of silences. For the development of this analysis, it is based on the considerations of Heleieth Saffioti (2015), about violence in women and the notes of John Stuart Mill, (2006), on the relationship of marriage as a form of female submission. Thus, there is a literary stance of questioning violence against women in a patriarchal context.
