Abstract

This work is a study on gender relationships as represented in Valsa negra (Black waltz), a novel by Brazilian contemporary writer Patrícia Melo. Differently from female author tradition, the text has an autodiegetic narrator. The protagonist is a successful fiftyish conductor, married to a Jewish violinist thirty years his junior. The action in the novel consists of the affective problems caused by the pathological jealousy he feels for his wife, which will be analyzed in this work. The theoretical approach used is Feminist Criticism.
