O foco narrativo : explorando as tipologias em “Os laços de família”

Abstract

The work analyzes the narrative focus in the short story "Os laços de Família" by Clarice Lispector, demonstrating how the narrator contributes to the construction of characters and plot. The study adopts a bibliographic approach, using Ligia Chiappini's discussions on types of narrators. The textual analysis of the story identifies passages that exemplify the use of the narrator, allowing an investigation into the narrative techniques employed by the author. The results indicate the use of a neutral omniscient narrator and multiple selective omniscience. It concludes that Lispector uses narrative focus to build the plot and guide reflections on human experience, expressing the complexity of personal relationships. The use of free indirect style also allows for a continuous flow between the narrator and the characters' perspectives, providing a narrative rich in emotional and introspective issues.
