    The document summarizes the key events and themes of Clarice Lispector's novella "The Hour of the Star". It does so through a series of discussion questions that touch on: the relationship between the narrator and Macabéa; the use of language and narrative style; themes of power and ignorance; the focus on bodily functions; comparisons between the beginning and end of the novel; and how the work conveys the human condition and possibly foreshadows the author's own death.

    The Cover
    The painting on the

    cover is Paul Klees Little Fool in a Trance. Does this painting relate in some way to the content of the novella?

    Obviously I am one of the more important. I, Rodrigo S.M.


    How does Clarice Lispector present this novella? Why does

    she elect to use this particular form of storytelling? Did you find this compelling or annoying? What is the relationship between the writer and Macaba? How does he feel about her? How trustworthy is the narrator? Based on the novella and the artist dedication, describe some key similarities and differences between the narrator, Macaba, and Clarice Lispector

    And to the city from the backland would come ever more and more of its sons

    Do Graciliano Ramos and Clarice Lispector paint a

    similar portrait of what life is like for NorthEasterners? Compare the narrative style of the two works. Do the different styles help accomplish particular goals unique to each novel?

    I have no intention of adorning the word, for were I to touch the girls bread, that bread would turn to goldAnd the girlwould be unable to bite into it, and consequently die of hunger

    Use of language and writing are recurring themes in

    the novella. How do Lispectors references to language affect the story? What is the significance of the North-Easterners malapropisms?

    The unbearable pain made him feel tough and a terrified Glria suddenly became submissive

    How is the concept of power used in the novel? Is

    anyone dominant or submissive? How much and what kind of power does the narrator have?

    Macaba turned pale: it had never occurred to her that her life was so awful

    Are any of the characters truly happy? In this case, is

    ignorance bliss? Is Macaba the only character that lacks self awareness?

    I see that she has vomited a little blood, a great spasm, essence finally touching essence

    Why does the novel often focus on the expression and

    suppression of bodily functions? Compare the beginning of the novel to the end of the novel

    The central character provides a nucleus for a wider exploration of existential problems

    What do you think the novel is trying to convey

    regarding the human condition? The Hour of the Star foreshadows Lispectors own demise to ovarian cancer shortly after the novella was published. Do you think the novella would be different had she known of her untimely death before the book were published? Is Lispector part of the Existentialist movement?
