Resumen
This research focuses on analyzing physical violence as a game and pleasure, symbolic violence
as repression and rupture, and psychological violence as authoritarianism and intimidation, all
present in relationships of the female characters of the novel Mandíbula (2018). The objective of
this project is to generate a new perspective of reflection regarding aggression against women since
currently, women appear to be an aggressor and a victim. This research starts off from the
following question: What are the ways in which a female character establishes herself as a violent
entity in front of another woman, in the novel Mandíbula (2018) and what is the meaning of each
ofthese acts? Regarding the theoretical framework, the concepts of: “physical violence” (Foucault,
1975), “symbolic violence” (Bourdieu, 1998) and “psychological violence” (Freud, 1931) are
used. The qualitative methodology and hermeneutical analysis of Manuel Baeza is used to study
the novel Mandíbula (2018). The expected results are the conceptualization and analysis of
violence within female characters of this novel. This project is intended to contribute to the
criticism and discussion of Ecuadorian literature and, particularly, that written by women
