Summary/Abstract: Although Marguerite Duras had always rejected being labeled as a feminist, her literary works definitely show a particular interest of the author about her own female characters. The article represents an analysis of the relationships between male and female characters, being based on research instruments developed in the field of gender and women’s studies, and thus leading to a precise perspective on the writer’s position towards women’s condition in a patriarchal society.
