| Abstract | |
The aim of this paper is to weave a set of relations, at the light of the Comparative Literature, between the novels O Amanuense Belmiro (Cyro dos Anjos, 19XX) and Para Sempre (Vergílio Ferreira, 19XX), highlighting similarities and differences in a way such as to provide a deeper understanding of them. To cope with this task, after briefly considering some concepts related to the novel composition, like the enunciation and the enunciated, the narrator and the narrated, the point of view, the setting, and the character, we centered the discussion over the concept of time making a tripartite distinction among time notions: the physical, the internal, and the linguistic, with emphasis on the latter two using it as an axis in the study of the novels, seeking to verify how the character-narrators see through their past and live their present. With regard to the linguistic time, we gave particular attention to the study of verbs, detached from other temporal words, in order that we could note the meaning effects resulting from the authors verb choices; as for the internal time, which is not measured by the clock, but by the intensity with which the characters go through different moments, we focused our study on the relation of the characters with the past. Also, owing to the clear difference between the types of novel analyzed, we dedicated a considerable effort to the study of the narrative genre. (AU) | |
