Abstract

Thais Erminy, a Venezuelan feminist playwright, brings over the scene three marginalized characters who struggle to be different, but live in a hipersexual world unable to achieve pleasure and love, therefore living in a distress that leads them to genre unbalance. This study makes a crossing path through the way of life and thinking of three characters whose life experiences have not been satisfactory to the point to be considered frustrated and dissatisfied bodies. The three characters live difficult lives to be suffered and cried for being frigid, but the playwright uses violence to solve the conflict and let the characters free to react with rage and pain.
