SUMMARY:

The term melancholy is considered a slippery slope concept by researchers in the field because it can designate from a philosophical inspiration, in the words of the Greek philosopher Aristotle, passing through a morbid prostration, as Freud (1980) points out, by a being adrift of existence, in the contemporary understanding of Denilson Lopes (1999), finally , to be situated by Lambotte (2000) in an independent configuration, because neither it is located in the set of the neuroses nor of the psychoses. The novel A breath of life - Pulsations (1999) and The Hour of the Star (1998) are a complex work, because it addresses existential and deep issues. The story is marked by unimaginable strength and beauty. It revolves around only two characters: the Author and Angela Pralini. This brings the northeastern Macabéa as the protagonist. The main objective of the current text is to try to understand melancholy from a theoretical point of view, in addition to understanding it in the referred literary works. In the first chapter, it was prioritized to open the thesis with an introduction about the topic discussed. In the second, there was a survey of the critical fortune of Clarice Lispector's works. In the third chapter, in order to do so, this chapter had the theoretical support of the book O que é corpo (1994), by José Gaiarsa, O discurso melancólico (1997) by Marie-Claude Lambotte and Mourning and Melancholia (1980) by Sigmund Freud. Then, in a second opportunity, the novel was analyzed by the bias of the melancholic language. Through her uninterrupted speech, she moves between paths in her discourse that reveals her decaying interior before the world erected by men. Through this eclipsed temporal space, between the flow and the mobility, it reveals subjects so valued to psychoanalysis: generalized inhibition, specular problematic and negativism. Finally, in a fifth chapter, we sought to weave a relationship between beauty and melancholy. Thus, the theoretical text, the basis for this work, is Umberto Eco's On Ugliness (2014) and Umberto Eco’s On Beauty (2014). The author equates the concept of beauty historically and critically in order to gradually arrive at the concept of ugliness, and the way it socially acquired relevance, from the concept of beauty to gradually go to the concept of ugliness, as well as having acquired relevance in society. Furthermore, Clarice Lispector's short story Beauty and the Beast or the Wound Too Large was chosen as a way of understanding this beauty emanating from the eyes of the melancholy. In the last chapter, all the work carried out to date has been completed. As for the methodology, there was the use of the literary and theoretical bibliographic search to reach the end proposed for the time being. The basic theoretical text for this endeavor is that of Lambotte (1997). Denilson Lopes (1999) and Kristeva (1987) - in addition to other texts, theoretically added the understanding of this interrelation. Finally, with the result, it is expected to expand the deepening of melancholy, contributing to a more informed society, mainly about the difference between melancholy and depression, besides that the study of that in the works of Clarice Lispector will be extended
