Gothic in William Faulkner and Lúcio Cardoso: a comparative reading
| Resumo: | This article aims to analyze the Gothic elements of the short stories “Céu escuro” (1940) – and their related narratives: “Um capítulo de romance” (1940) and “História de Cristiana” (2) (1944) –, by the Brazilian writer Lúcio Cardoso, and “A rose for Emily” (1930), by the American writer William Faulkner. The hypothesis is that the Gothic achievements of both writers, despite their different nationalities, have several similarities, such as: the houses described as loci horribiles and the thematization of family terrors and a decadent rural aristocracy, just to name some. Thus, we seek to prove that the Gothic is a consistent poetic, with identifiable narrative elements. As a theoretical foundation, the works of Júlio França (2020), Fred Botting (2014) and Catherine Spooner (2007) will be used, among others. |
