The rhetoric of the tragic in <i>the baltazar serapião’s remorse
Abstract
Based on Aristotle’s theoretical views about tragedy, the concept of tragic is discussed in this study, also taking into consideration Peter Szondi’s theoretical contributions. This author understands the tragic under the philosophical approach that it is manifested in consonance with a given culture and a given time. In the light of this theoretical assumption and based on other scholars’ considerations about this theme, it is investigated how the language, having as structuring elements the antithesis and the oxymoron, shapes a tragic worldview in the protagonist's speech of the baltazar serapião's remorse by Valter Hugo Mãe, what effects of meaning these rhetoric resources produce in this configuration and which views about himself and the world the character shows at this novel.
