摘要：

Focused on the novel produced within the scope of literatures in English language, the present text comprehends a thematic outline which highlights the narrative representations of conjugal life. The objective of this paper is to explore marriage in a double sense: the (perfect) "marriage" between the form of the novel and the representation of fictional loves; and marriage as the novel's theme. Privileging the subtheme of adultery, as practiced by female characters, the analysis emphasizes the moments especially intense of passionate actions ("scenes", in which desire explodes in textual form that is to a certain extent detached from the total narrative that it is part of). To illustrate the theory, we propose a reading of the novel The End of the Affair, by Graham Greene.
