Nelson Rodrigues

More about the book

The research delves into the unique forms and content of tragedy in Nelson Rodrigues' plays, emphasizing an aesthetic and hermeneutic analysis. It posits that Rodrigues' approach to tragedy is paradoxical; his works embody a "flaw" that is intrinsic to the structure of language, which serves as the basis for modernist tragedy. The study argues that in the post-Greek era, the essence of tragedy and the tragic is achieved through this inherent failure, redefining traditional notions of tragic expression.
