Reflexões sobre a estrutura narrativa em Eram Seis Assinalados, de Lindanor Celina

Abstract

The reading of Lindanor Celina´s works, a writer from Pará – Brazil, aimed a reflection about her literary making. This fact allowed me to opt to “They were six signed”, a work of mature phase of Lindanor Celina. In this research. I emphasize the narrative structure to observe the evolution of writings and the form as narrative categories were used in the text. The work is a romance that presents many traces of modernity, mainly, in what is related to narrator and time. The novel is told from Irene‟s vision through conscience flow, memory is what leads her, since she tells a last action. The figure of narrator is dissimulated, it hides itself behind the characters as if she was only the guardian and the observer of the secrets. The external narrator appears at transitory moments, it leaves its message and takes shelter, in order to characters display their ideas. Another category that deserves to be saliented in the text is time. The work “They were six signed” can be classified as a novel of psychological time, since inmost of characters is disclosed without landmark of real time. Narrated space in the novel is relevant when we verify the subject-matter of the work only acquires those ratios because the fact occurred in that city of the country. There are few characters, but they present a singular complexity. Irene, the main character, and the novel have as main point, her drama. I present this study as an assay, mainly, for instigating other researchers to know Lindanor Celina‟s work.
