THE EXPERIENCE OF THE SELF: A PAIXÃO SEGUNDO G.H, BY CLARICE LISPECTOR

This paper intends to present the work A Paixão Segundo G.H, in light of the idea that there is a manifestation for the search for identity, found in the experience of G.H. with the cockroach, that is, of me and the other, which leads us to deeply think, due to the character's ramblings. The narrative relies into questioning not only existence, but also language itself, as far as it can take us to the essence of things. Not trying to give answers, because not even Clarice gave them, but trying to present A paixão Segundo G.H. as one of its richest works, the act of G.H. when ingesting the cockroach, and this is the way that this work will be developed
