Abstract

This paper intends to make an analysis of the work The Obscene Madame D, written by Hilda Hilst, from three central axes: death, body and family. Three aspects that at first glance seem unrelated, but in Hilda's text they converge from the protagonist’s metaphysical delusions. To think about these issues, I compare the thoughts and reflections expressed by the main character with some ideas expressed by Georges Bataille in the work Erotism: Death and Sensuality.
