Summary/Abstract: The developing of the inter-war novel has determined the enrichment and the tone of the feminine character construction as well as its frequency. In this period it becomes more and more pronounced and more conscious. It’s rising the preoccupation with the feminine psychology, almost unexplored in the pre-war novels. In Hortensia Papadat-Bengescu’s literary creation we meet a certain hardness of the pencraft shape. However, the idea, the intellectual attitude and the new direction of the feminine affect, outlining a category of the feminine ideal. In Hortensia Papadat-Bengescu’s literature we find also an unusual association between sensitivity and common experience, the absurd is having motivation and the glimpses or even the immobility are having a direction. On the other part, in the rebrenian novel ”Adam si Eva”, we discover the split of the unit, of the primordial couple, animus and anima, a dissolution which determines the decadence and the breakage of the couple as well as the individuals’ lives. Through the ’’Ciuleandra’’ dance is written once again the portative of Puiu’s memories. Mădălina will become more and more mysterious through her death, having the power to control Puiu’s mind. Rebreanu’s phantasmal heroine will dominate Puiu’s being and will mark his development, beyond the death.
