A temática do amor na obra Amor de perdição, de Camilo Castelo Branco.

Abstract

In this present monographic work, we aim the thematic of love in the novel Amor de perdição, by Camilo Castelo Branco. Before, however, we focus our attention in the history of love in the western culture, stressing the impossibility of loving realization. To do so, we develop our study with significant references to the subject in question, as the work The symposium, by Plato and the myth Tristan and Isolde. Our reflection, in addition to the interpretation of the plot of the work in question, aims to point out the obstacles presented in the narrative, to raise the author’s biographic aspects and, along the study, to relate the Camilian novel to the myth which is the matrix of romantic love, Tristan and Isolde. So we approach this wide path taken not only by the literature, but by all of those who let themselves be awakened by the eternity and fascination of romantic novels.
