| Abstract | |
This doctorate thesis intends to study the concept of tragic in the realistic novel of the nineteenth Century, more specifically in “Madame Bovary”, by Gustave Flaubert, and “Anna Kariênina”, by Liév Tolstoi. Both novels are products of the Modern Realism, and they share the theme of women adultery, which, as we intend to demonstrate in our study, is responsible for the tragic structure of these literary works. The tragic form reveals itself in the individual conflict and the ethical debate about the social system. These interpretations come from two different concepts of tragedy. The first is the one of the German idealistic philosophy, which, especially in Friedrich Schelling’s ideas, emphasizes the individual element, the affirmation of human freedom. The second one is the interpretation of the structuralist studies on Greek Tragedy (made, especially, by Vernant, Vidal-Naquet, and Charles Segal). Therefore, we intend to read the genre novel as a tragic form (considering the specific literary period we will study), interpreting its form and content through the two different concepts of tragic.
