Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação) – Faculdade de Educação, Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, 2022.http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/20819The present work aims to investigate the scope of aspects of female domination and class neurosis in the set of literary works called The Napolitan Novels by the Italian author Elena Ferrante. The study on the development process of female domination demonstrates that it is a chain of insidious orders that were established due to multiple factors such as the development of capitalism, religiosity, fear of women's power, relationship between birth and economy, among others. Regarding class neurosis, we perceive that it is a term that characterizes the clinical symptoms presented by those who move within the social class structure and that it is conditioned by psychosexual and social factors, related to personal, family, relational and that are generally socially invisible. That ensure illusory ideals such as meritocracy, compensatory effort, among others. These factors condition the individual to suffer from feelings of inferiority, guilt and humiliation and society to interpret failure as an individual result of lack of effort. And, finally, we resort to the articulation of the factors mentioned above within the account of the protagonist of Elena Ferrante's Napolitan Novels, anchoring us in her life narrative to demonstrate the presence of convergence of these processesporAcesso AbertoIdentidade femininaSubmissão femininaNeurose de classeElena FerranteTetralogia napolitanaHabitusFemale identityFemale submissionClass neurosisElena FerranteNeapolitan tetralogyHabitusTCC
