Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analize the character of Lavinia based on the novel by Ursula K. Le Guin. Our exploration exposes its passage from periphery to the centre of writing. Lavinia´s speech reflects about the hero role, about the poet and power of the texts through time. Finally, this link between Virgil´s Aeneis who reminds us that the power entailed both action and speech belongs to men and Le Guin whose narrative focuses in feminine experience and the voice of the protagonist.
