This thesis presents an examination of representations of female figures in the novel The Hour of the Star by Clarice Lispector, in the labyrinths of the city of Rio de Janeiro, bringing an approach on how these women moving in the great metropolis and how the urban experience interferes the actions of the characters. The fictional text is analyzed considering its relations with the society it represents, taking into account the issues surrounding women's presence in the social scene of city life, these issues are issues in the fiction lispectoriana. Thus, the external elements of life in the metropolis are incorporated into the fictional scene of The Hour of the star, the narrative that depicts the urban experience in the form of a binomial double implication: the city is simultaneously a pole of attraction and rejection, a paradoxically utopia and hell. In this book the author makes a complaint about the social status of migrant in northeastern Macab?a metropolis, revealing portrait of a cruel and indifferent society. Presents us, too, other figures such as Gloria and Madama Carlota, women going through the mazes of the city and they weave the events of their lives. This narrative is composed, therefore, images of the destruction of human relationships to the monstrous progress in technology and productivity of the ideals of the capitalist system, showing us that the process of modernization has generated megalopolis problematic in crisis, crossed by violence, destabilization of values, by the logic of exclusion and loss of community ties.
