Summary/Abstract: In this article we analyze the trajectory of becoming the protagonist Orlando, from the novel Femei de iasomie by Ionel Buşe, through the erotic game and the facets of love. The women, the portraits of whom the novel is imparting, influence and shape various sociocultural contexts, moods, the relation of the ego to the self and, with them, their meaning as an archetype of meaning. The mystical love for Ligia-Victoria is, in fact, a hermeneutic of the self, of the discovery of the exit from the historical reality, hysterized by the new human condition – the Covid, and of the transformation of human consciousness through the flow from carnal to platonic love. The jasmine house with all its derivatives – the old, Victoria, Maia, the portrait of Ligia, expresses the profound fusion of the masculine and feminine into an archetypal self. In this way, beyond erotic adventures and sexual ecstasies, the protagonist, through a process of individuation, discovers eros as a mystical manifestation in a context of constraints such as pandemic. The hermeneutical investigation follows the analysis of female figures and the phantasms of eros for to order the whole soul of the hero.
