Abstract

 This study aims to make an analysis of Clarice Lispector's tale “Seeking Dignity” from the Imaginary studies developed by Durand and his followers. Also anchored were Bachelard's and Jung's conceptions of the images that come from the maze. The study intends to show that, through this narrative, Clarice Lispector expresses conflicts experienced by the protagonist of the tale, Mrs. Jorge B. Xavier, a being that emerges from dark corridors, spaces that resemble labyrinths in which the tensions of being / being in the world intensify as the character comes to the surface of herself. The images that arouse in the maze in which the character is lost / are constituted in constellations of meanings, expressed by the antitheses of the diurnal regime of the image.
