The present work aims to investigate the possible implications between the woman and anguish. Our main focus is to research the ways that the woman experiences anguish and how such an affective state bursts out in the psychic feminine life. In order to conduct the research, a psychoanalytical bibliography about the topic was revisited, especially in Freud s work and Lacan s studies. The research was based upon Freud s indication that castration anguish, shown as structuring in a man s psychic life, does not present itself as the basis of anguish in the other sex. The correlate to the anguish of castration, for a woman, is the fear of the loss of love, which leads to the investigation of an archaic period in a woman s history: her pre-oedipal relation with the mother. This first love bond, which the woman will re-edit several times in each new love encounter, will serve as a basis throughout all her erotic life. In order to illustrate such an issue, Marguerite Duras s novel, The Lover , and Camille Claudel s works have been chosen to show the intrinsic devastating relation among the woman, anguish, love and the mother.
