“É assim que acaba”: a perspectiva da vítima na relação violenta. Uma intersecção entre direito e literatura

Abstract

This work carries out an intersectional analysis between Law and Literature, seeking to demonstrate that two or more sciences can be worked on together, assisting each other. The work addresses, through a literary book, domestic and family violence against women from the victim's perspective, in conjunction with the biography of Maria da Penha Maia Fernandes, the woman who was honored by having her name associated with Law No. 11.340/2006, which serves as the legal foundation used here. This analysis shows what a violent relationship is like, based on the victims' accounts, how it begins, the developments in the relationship, its implications, and how it ends, while also relating the effects of violence in the legal field, involving the law and its protections for women who are victims of domestic and family violence.
