Irmãs no sangue, rivais (nem sempre) no amor: a solidariedade anunciada em Os sete gatinhos.

Abstract

Volúpia and Os sete gatinhos, plays written by Guilhermina Rocha and Nelson Rodrigues respectively, both deal with a love triangular relationship between a man and two sisters, bringing to light questions connected to the rivalry and/or solidarity among women. The purpose of the present text is to discuss these topics by taking into account the tensions experienced by women in response to moral/sexual contradictions that position them as potential enemies.
