Summary/Abstract: Instead of subversive action, in literature, as well as in the culture, women clash and thus enable the unhindered survival of patriarchal norms. In some literary texts, female characters are often opposed, i.e. women show envy towards other women, either because of beauty or a man who is the object of desire. In any case, such opposition is often only part of a patriarchal strategy aimed at women's disunity that distances women from projects that would allow them to act more homogeneously and to oppose traditional patterns of behavior.
