Summary/Abstract: This article proposes a structural and semantico-stylistic analysis of the comparative constructions through which Doina Ruști, in the Phanariot Manuscript, creates, through comparisons, images of the human body as a whole. Creating these structures, the author sometimes uses the canonical model, other times she gives rise to her own constructions, of an unusual plasticity, which, in many cases, tend towards metaphorization, their great force of suggestion deriving from the author’s ability to select and associate terms belonging to different semantic spheres in a unitary image, capable of expressing an affective value.
