This article aims to analyze two short stories by the writer Lídia Jorge, “Marido” and “As três mulheres sagradas”, published at different moments of the author's work, but which seem to have some convergent paths of reading, such as silence, to which they are subjected some characters, and the violence, that results from the transgression of rules. In both texts, the themes find strength in the elaboration of the language of each story.
