Women in “The final meeting”

Abstract

Friendship is the main issue in this novel, one of the Hungarian author Sándor Márai’s most remarkable ones; beyond its sheets, a kind of fine-brush painting stands out, in which the features of a true friendship are well-drawn, as well as the strokes that can make that feeling vanish. Looking into the female world that also assists and plays the leading role in The final meeting, is the purpose of this essay. Knowing why the character woman is created by the author to be there in such a necessarily enigmatic way, as in fact the feminine is inside and outside fiction, is an interest joined to the other previously exposed.
