<b>Prometeu, de Franz Kafka. Uma abordagem mitocrítica
Abstract
The aim of this article is to discuss a short tale by Franz Kafka, Prometheus, published in 1931 in his work titled Beim Bau der Chinesischen Mauer (the Great Wall of China), according to the mythological-critical approach of Gilbert Durand. It is not to be discussed either the work, or the chosen story, in the light of literary criticism, but only the study of the latter in the durandian mythological-critical approach. In our study we will try to reinterpret this tale as a sort of metaphor for the crisis of modern society; we will also try to understand the deep meaning of the fourth legend, which leads us to the myth’s truth and its importance for human life.
