Um diálogo entre William Shakespeare e Machado de Assis: análise comparativa das obras Otelo e Ressurreição

Abstract

The present work proposes a comparative analysis between the works Otello, of William Shakespeare and Resurrection, of Machado de Assis. In this comparative analysis of the works, which is based on the theoretical principles of Comparative Literature, it is sought to observe the differences and similarities between the characters of each work, Otello and Felix, respectively, concerning mainly pathological jealousy which affects them. The analysis shows that, in spite of the temporal gap between the works, the entanglements intertwine and the characters are essentially similar in what concerns mainly their construction as "human" characters, limited, unstable and incoherent.
