ASCENSIUNEA ȘI DECĂDEREA MODELULUI FEMININ ÎN NUVELA LUI GIB MIHĂESCU. O RETORICĂ A IDEALULUI DEMITIZAT
The rise and fall of the female model in Gib Mihăescu's short story. A rhetoric of the demystified ideal

Summary/Abstract: Built as a space of anxiety and claustrophobia, Gib Mihăescu's brief prose joins a female model subordinated to the simple logic of survival, in contrast to the male model dominated by the aspiration of love, obsessed with control and consumed by scenarios that distort the real plan. Emancipation of the woman at the beginning of the twentieth century, takes the form of decaying character, as the woman loses its role as a mother in traditional literature and often becomes the victim of fatal situations controlled by erotic, violent pulses. The existential crisis is based on the inability to control the imagination that takes control over consciousness and throws the self into uncertainty, fragmented by an inner dialectic hallucinatory. The identity of the female character is projected into the hypostasis of the couple based on trauma, with surrealistic elements. The events gather in concentric circles towards the critical point in the vicinity of an ambiguous end, under a constant centrifugal force of the oscillation between the argument and the counterargument, which pulls the characters from their purpose and duty and dehumanizes them.
