Description What is being analyzed and subsequently interpreted in our study, is Simone de Beauvoir´s conception of freedom and its bodily determination. Because of that, we are using Beauvoir´s first novel, She Came to Stay (L´Invitée), where her first conceptualization of these fenomenons can be found. Although this novel is strongly based on dialogues between three main characters, we are convinced, that it is precisely their dialogue, what allows specificity of Beauvoir´s conceptions. Therefore, by interpreting some of these dialogues we are trying to make clear, where according to Beauvoir freedom begins and how it is being limited.
