(in English) Initially, this master's degree thesis exposes the professional life and the evolution as author of Laura Restrepo, pointing out her work and direction in literature. Then, an introduction to the studied novel, Delirio, is presented and its style, the formal and narrative techniques and the synopsis is developed. Second part of the thesis analyses key elements of the novel that are thematically linked with madness (the room, childhood, seeing beyond, sexuality, lying, water, delirium and green color). The symbology of these elements is analyzed, which is later applied, in the last part of the thesis, to deepen the possible symbology of some concrete scenes of the novel, in which the protagonist decides to paint the walls of her apartment in green. Key words madness, delirium, symbol, symbolism, green, Laura Restrepo

<p>Denna uppsats behandlar fyra svenska böcker för barn i åldrarna 8 – 14 år som varit mest utlånade på Halmstad bibliotek under 2008. Titlarna som analyserats är Fixa pengar annars…! av Lena Lilleste, Det brinner! av Laura Trenter, Den danske rånaren av Petter Lidbeck samt Den trettonde gästen av Martin Widmark. Syftet med uppsatsen var att se hur killar och tjejer, samt män och kvinnor, framställs i litteraturen. Vilka egenskaper, attribut och yrken som karaktärerna tillskrivs med tanke på vilket kön de har. Som teoretisk bakgrund till uppsatsen har jag använt mig av Marika Andræs avhandling Rött eller grönt? Tjej blir kvinna och pojke blir man i B. Wahlströms ungdomsböcker 1914 – 1944 som behandlar uppdelningen mellan pojk- och flickböckerna.</p>

This literary essay attempts to analyze the novel Como agua para chocolate (Like Water for Chocolate) written by Laura Esquivel. The focal point here lies in four of the female characters, how they are represented and if they possess or lack power. The power, the development of the characters and their struggle for independence are the main points of the analysis of this particular novel. Moreover, before the analysis, the feminist literary criticism, the characteristics of posboom and the authoress are represented along with the definition of power, the dynamic/static character and magic realism. The analysis demonstrates the gaining power of the main character Tita and her oldest sister Gertrudis. With certain transgressions they receive the power their mother once had. These transgressions help develop the two sisters and the result is self-realization and happiness.
