- Abstract
The purpose of this work is to discuss the suicide and its structure of the act, taking as its premise that the satisfaction present in self-punishment introduces the Lacanian perspective on passage to the act and acting out. For the construction of this study, the metapsychology of melancholia in its differentiation from the mourning process, the myth of Ajax, of Sophocles, and the Freudian case about the Young Homosexual Woman were used as basis, to explore the positioning of the Ego and the object as intrinsic gear to the suicidal act. Given that Ajax lets himself fall on the sword and the Young Homosexual Woman survives after throwing herself off a bridge, what is noticeable is that there is in the fall the outcome of something that would no longer be bearable. It is in this movement that the egoic constitution is transposed and the subject throws himself out of the scene, by identifying himself with object a, in a last exit.
