In Clarice Lispector’s narratives, the characters rediscover the world and rediscover themselves in a process of painful liberation. This renewal amounts to a sacrifice: it is necessary to abandon the comfort guaranteed by rules, social masks, and the automatism of gestures. The renewal of life requires death. In this journey into the unknown, Clarice’s characters often lose their personal integrity, see their primary identity, the body, dismantled. The narrator-character of The Passion According to G.H. affirms: “I get so scared when I realize I lost my human form for several hours.”
