This article addresses in its content an analysis on the character Arya Stark of the literary work, the chronicles of Ice and Fire, of the author George R.R. Martin. For this, the study was directed by the study about gender (GALVÃO, 1998), namely, the understanding of the term damsel-warrior and its importance in relation to social issues pertinent to female experience, especially in the literary description. The purpose of analyzing the character is to establish a debate about the feminine 'image' in the work, through Arya and a comparison with the experience of the woman in the contemporary society, being, therefore, the theoretical concepts, through bibliographical revision On the ethos (AMOSSY, 2014, EGGS, 2014) and the enunciative scene (MAINGUENAU, 2014) help in the argumentative constitution for a better understanding of the discursive types that are in the social core historically and that reflect in the analyzed work. The result of the research, from the studies of the theoretical basis, was convergent to elucidation of the social constitution that the discourse has. Thus, it is relevant to note that understanding how discourses are defined and expressed through literature continues to reveal the barriers that result in occasional domains of groups over others.
