Abstract

The question “What does a woman want?” disturbs women from puberty; however, it takes some time to subjectively subscribe to it, recognizing its enigmas as openness and not as fragility. This study aims to discuss the enigmas of femininity in women, that is, enigma as a synonym of inquiry. With Antigone written by Sophocles, it articulates the main elements around this woman who embodies an Other that is unrepresentable in parresia, a concept delimited by Michel Foucault. Based on Jacques Lacan, it shows that Antigone reveals the point of view that defines the complex concept of desire. It is not a matter of going or finding the object of satisfaction, but of remaining desiring, despite the metonymic condition that is characteristic of objects of desire. This tragedy, whose aim is catharsis; the purgation of passions, fear and piety, throws the subject to the place that is proper to desire. The unassimilable that is at stake in desire. Antigone is a woman who attracts in an inescapable way and it would be precisely on the side of this attraction that one could look for what is impetuous in femininity
