Grande Sertão Veredas: elementos do cristianismo, na ambiguidade de um discurso

Abstract

The aim of the thesis is to investigate the presence of elements of the Christian religion on the novel by Rosa at work: Grande Sertão: Veredas. The research grew out of drawing inferences on themes of religiousness in the novel in order to identify the elements of a Christian conception of God in these subjects by connecting them to the main foundations of Christianity, to literary criticism, and trying to see in them a conjunction with narrator’s ambiguous speech. It aims to understand how the narrator, with his matériavertente, a story built from a living history, with religious elements, mainly Christians, involved in the task of narrating. The research also intendeds to recognize the role of literary criticism, particularly, that devoted to a presentation of elements of Christian religiosity aligned to the belief of the characters, and that which,although unlinks the characters of commitment to a religious belief, admits the presence of Christian themes such as sin, salvation and grace, in the riobaldian narrative.
