| description | Focusing specifically on the female character of the short story “Boule de Suif”, published by Maupassant ten years after the Franco-Prussian War, in 1880, we have found a special relation between the fact that it is about a courtesan and that of her function in the work, connected to politics, to religion, to the values of heroism and the behavior which it establishes. What is particularly interesting to us is the irony that builds the character, the hypocrisy encrusted in the society of the time, and some symbols that involve its construction. To accomplish our aim, we count on the support of some theories already known, such as the analysis and the theoretical study of Irony and the ironic by Muecke; Theory of Romance by Lukács; and Concepts of Criticism and History of Modern Criticism by Wellek, although our work has as its specific focus the function of the female character as a web that intertwines the relations present in this short story. |

Focalizando a personagem feminina do conto “Boule de Suif”, publicado por Maupassant dez anos após a Guerra franco-prussiana, em 1880, encontramos uma relação peculiar entre o fato de se tratar de uma cortesã e sua função na obra, ligada à política, à religião, aos valores de heroísmo e ao comportamento que estabelece. Interessa-nos particularmente a ironia que constitui a personagem, a hipocrisia incrustada na sociedade da época, e alguns símbolos que envolvem a sua construção. Para tanto, contamos com o apoio de algumas teorias já conhecidas, como a análise e o aprofundamento teórico de Ironia e o irônico, de Muecke; Teoria do Romance, de Lukács; e Conceitos de crítica e História da crítica moderna, de Wellek, ainda que nosso trabalho enseje um olhar que destaca a função da personagem feminina como teia que entrelaça as relações presentes na obra.Focalizando a personagem feminina do conto “Boule de Suif”, publicadopor Maupassant dez anos após a Guerra franco-prussiana, em 1880, encontramosuma relação peculiar entre o fato de se tratar de uma cortesã e sua função naobra, ligada à política, à religião, aos valores de heroísmo e ao comportamento queestabelece.
