SUMMARY:

The work As Meninas by Lygia Fagundes Telles published in 1973, tells the story of three young students who face their life dilemmas before a patriarchal and prejudiced society regarding the taboos present in their daily lives. The plot presents us an oppressive and violent scenario, typical of the Military Regime, which occurred in the period which the romance is taking place, but we can see that the most explicit violence in the book is present in the sexual abuse experienced by one of the characters, while oppression, in addition to being observed in the political scene, it is also intended to censor habits that, when considered taboo, face a prejudiced discourse that confronts the lifestyle of these characters who stage a story of female protagonism, a typical characteristic in the author's works. The objective of this dissertation is to carry out an analysis of the taboos present in the narrative and its developments on female characters, relating them to certain taboos created through traditions and customs from a patriarchal society. Authors such as Simone de Beauvoir (1967, 1970), Virginia Woolf (2019), Sigmund Freud (2012, 2013), Elizabeth Badinter (1991), Antonio Candido (2007), Jean Delumeau (1989), Mary Del Priore (2011) and others were used as a basis for the realization of this study, which seeks, through its theories, to dialogue with the concepts mentioned throughout the text. With this, we emphasize the importance of debating about this theme, as a way to break with this paradigm that involves taboos, and present literary figures that represent what many women experience, when even their own body is the stigma of a taboo.
