<p>ABSTRACT</p><p>This essay deals with the matrimonial conflicts of Andrés Ascencio and Catalina Guzmán de Ascencio in the novel</p><p><em>Arráncame la vida (1985), by the Mexican author Àngeles Mastretta. The essay uses two points of departure. <em>The society of classes is still alive today and <em>the patriarchal society oppresses women. Taking departure from this base the essay analyses the marriage of the novel´s two protagonists. The goal has been to show that Catalina and Andrés use love and sexuality as arms in their marital battle and that Catalina is oppressed both by the patriarchal society and by her origin in the working class. <strong><p>Keywords: la transgresión, el sistema binario, el patriarcado, el movimiento social, las normas.</p></strong></em></em></em></p>
