This article focuses on the presence of the masculine in the novel A Hora da Estrela by Clarice Lispector. Considering that the narrator is a writer, Rodrigo S. M. facing the mystery of Macabéa and attempting to describe it, the perspective starts from the male gaze towards the female. The objective is to describe how the interactions of male characters in the narrative unfold, considering the narrator and the protagonist Macabéa. To achieve this, the article draws on Judith Butler's gender performance theory, Stuart Hall's theories on identity and some concepts of Bourdieu regarding masculinity. Ultimately, the results demonstrate that stereotypes become intertwined in Macabéa's relationships with the Other.
