Summary/Abstract: In this article, I treated the various hypostases of the femininity and of the masculinity present in the novel A Woman for Apocalypse, by Vintila Horia. Blanca and Manuel form a revelation-couple of the primordial unity, found through a painful initiating "path" of self-knowledge and of knowledge of the other. Love is revealed in successive stages according to each gnoseological level achieved, on an inevitable vertical that unites the bacchanal of senses with the apollonian of transcendental beatitude. The feminine of the biblical term Apocalypse, as a revelation of the end of the world and the punishment of evil, is replaced by the Romanian writer with the neutral term of the Apocalypse, in which the intransigent and categorical masculin learns from a woman the values of a new ontology - hope, forgiveness and love.
