Georges Bataille’s book Story of the eye transgresses, by means of its contents, the calm, the boredom and the automatism of the daily life, with its lack of boldness and pleasure. Besides, the structure itself of the novel is extremely poetic, which sets the book in between the two genres, according to Roland Barthes, transgressing, on the other hand, the way in which novels are usually written. Other transgressions are solidified by the narrator and the teenager Simone’s behavior, which breaks the barriers imposed by the authorities or social decency. The relation between eye and egg is significant during the book and the two words begin to blend, in a symbiotic affinity. The phonetic similarity that they have turn into a semantic similarity. Thereby, the uses and the functions between both objects also alternate: a part of the human body can occupy the place of food and vice-versa. The boundaries between seeing and eating are also pushed. This present article will analyze the established relation between the food, represented in the book by the egg, the pleasures of the body and the poetic and transgressive language of the book.
