This work aims to look at two individualized aspects of the main character in 'days of abandonment': her inner journey in search of her lost identity, which leads to a reflection on the expectations and roles assigned to women in a society that is still it is far from social, political and economic equality between genders; as well as understanding the eroticism that surrounds it, since, just like a second language, it reveals an interiority molded and conformed from the perspective of the male pornotized gaze. The dialectical proposal presented is based on the teleological movement of the character Olga around the initial problem situation, that is, the painful process of separation and the situation of abandonment. Soon after, the new position: from inexperience and ignorance to the acquisition of the critical sense necessary to assimilate its otherness and empowerment. There are confluences in Ferrante's text with the works of Simone de Beauvoir and Judith Butler, since the work echoes questions intrinsic to women's search for identity; to the situation of abandonment and female loneliness; and the condition of “being a woman” in today's society, which is reflected in the final part of the work.
