This work aims to investigate the sacrificial death in Lygia Fagundes Telles’s fiction. The ritual of initiation is analyzed to the light of the mythology, the Jungian psychology and the imaginary anthropology of Gilbert Durand, and is related to the rite of sacrifice through symbolic images of death and rebirth. The corpus analysis has as its main goal to trace the trajectory of the feminine growth and liberation resulting from the sacrificial death, which unveils its beneficent feature. Through the concepts postulated by Jung of anima, animus, shadow, ego and self, the investigation tries to show how the women’s search for learning towards a process of individuation is well succeeded, in opposite to the same process for men, who lose themselves in the labyrinthine existential world. It becomes evident that the feminine process of liberation and redemption is achieved thanks to the initiation which is presented as the integration of the personality and psychological maturation in opposite to the men, who, before the fear of facing themselves, become sacrificial victims. About the feminine death, its occurrence is registered in the novel As meninas and in the short story “O tesouro”. In the short narrative, the death is presented as the last stage of passage from childhood to puberty, moment in which the real world - away from the mother’s breast - is unveiled to the boy. In the novel, a new form of death can be detected in the character Ana Clara, the sacrificial victim of a political and social oppressive system, from which one can released by death.
