O bem e o mal na encruzilhada do sertão: o dobrar-se e desdobrar-se da unidade em Grande sertão: veredas

Abstract

The thesis entitled "Good and evil at the crossroads of the hinterland: the fold and unfold of the unit in Grande sertão: veredas" aims to reflect on the various ways in which good and evil are manifested in that work of Guimarães Rosa (1908-1967). As a starting point for interpreting the theme in Rosa, we begin with some considerations elaborated by Schelling (1775-1854), trying to find common characteristics in the novel in relation to this philosopher. Stories, characters and significant episodes of the pact with the devil and the final duel in "Tamanduá Tão " require special attention in reflection on issues of good and evil in the work of Rosa. Through this dialogue with Schelling we realized that the work of Rosa allowed us to identify several consequences of good and evi. However, we also note that such consequences maintain an essential unity between good and evil, to which they are indebted.
