Abstract

This article is an interpretation of O colar de coral, the third part of the book A casa e as casas by the prose writer Helene Parente Cunha. Using the system of the imaginary of the night, established by Gilbert Durand, we interpret this texts centered on cyclical dominance, specifically from an integrative perspective. The images of the sea, the moon and the whole fabric of the narrative are analyzed to confirm the presence of cyclical dominance in the night regime and of the integrative perspective, through the relationship between man and woman and the environment that surrounds them.
