Abstract

The present study aims to analyze the female characters in the work of the Sicilian writer Giovanni Verga. In order to do so, we have taken into account the literary representations of the angelic woman and the femme fatale, two feminine prototypes that are reflected in his works and show both extremes of the feminine experience in the patriarchal culture.
