This dissertation analyses the female images in the gospel of Matthew using the narrative analysis. It studies the strategies used by the narrator to introduce and develop several female characters and their roles in relation to Jesus, the narrative protagonist. In this Greek-Roman biography, it is important to observe how all the narrative elements - characters, time, space, plot - converge to the hero, Jesus. This dissertation focuses on the identity issue and the search for the definition of characteristics which give identification to the characters. For that, the social theories of Stuart Hall e Zygmunt Bauman were used. The conclusion is that the identity itself is not an issue in the narrative. The main urgency is survival, forcing the characters to override their established identities in order to meet their immediate needs. Although the social problems and pressure, the limited social role given to the female characters, the survival and descendant assurance seem so distant from post-modernism, the conclusion is that the meaning of this narrative, written more than two millennia ago , remains updated since it refers to the dilemma of existence. Terrible social, cultural, political and religious problems, injustice and survival issues are still faced by women nowadays. The conclusion also is that the narrator uses a wide range of strategies to build the characters, inviting the reader to make up conclusions and fill in the blanks.
