Resumo

This study is based on the psychoanalytic theory, considering the fact that there is a noticeable intersection between its concepts of anguish and helplessness in Clarice Lispector’s literary work, especially in her 1977’s book The Hour of The Star. As the comprehension of the construction of the modern subject arises, considering the flaws of a society that fails in providing the promised help for the citizens impacted by the social unrest, a consequence of this society’s dynamics, literature and psychoanalysis meet. In order to do so, this work addresses the process of literary writing as a product of the subject’s distress, anguish and helplessness; a creative process seen in Clarice Lispector. Attempting for a better understanding of the concepts already described, a theorical study was made. Also, other works from the author were read, analyzed. Theoretically, the research finds its support in Freud, Kehl, Dunker and others. As a result, it is possible to affirm that, in The Hour of The Star, the characters Rodrigo S. M., Macabéa and Olímpico illustrate some kinds of helplessness, psychological and social. Through Rodrigo S. M., the artistic production gives support to the psychic helplessness, when the other social basis made by men fail, leaving to the subject the condition to build them. Macabéa represents the individual in a society that does not offer any conditions for emancipation; in a way that the individual is left with no possibility of choice, an individual that does not desire, becoming only a mere object of disposable use. Olímpico, however, portrays the subject as the result of social helplessness, with the violence, the desire of becoming the oppressor, whereby, for that, one must make their own rules, breaking the social contract so that one can survive. In all those explanations, the anguish stands out and the jouissance’s condition of the reader is exposed, in case, with their identification with the characters/author.
