A relação entre o espaço e as personagens femininas no romance O primo Basílio, de Eça de Queirós.

Abstract

The present study aims to analyze the space occupied by the main characters inside the house they have lived in the novel O primo Basílio, written by Eça de Queirós. We explored the theory of great authors who have studied about romantic space and their concepts about the theme. Then, we described the context of characterization, as well as a brief description of the Realism and its literary movement, and a short biography of Eça de Queirós. Finally, we analyzed the house and the rooms where the characters lived, and the effect of that space over each character, showing that the space is an important part in the narrative.
