Summary/Abstract: The novel Buburuza focuses on revealing the expressions loneliness can have. The main character is Vasilica Buburuz, who since her childhood is faced with a locomotor disability, those around her being distant towards her. Liliana Corobca's characters face difficult situations to overcome. This work follows the evolution of the female character in a context where the isolation and ignorance of others accentuates loneliness, the female character being unable to escape the marginality imposed by others. Vasilica feels abandoned in a world from which she is excluded, because the reactions of others reinforce her marginalisation due to her inability to move. Therefore, the novel presents the confession of the female character who, since childhood, has experienced the feeling of loneliness, which has become more acute since inter-human relationships have become more difficult to build.
