Descrição
Resumo:There are few academic studies about the intertextual dialogue between Machado de Assis’s poems and the Pentateuch. Although Machado published poetries of which central theme is based on biblical characters and episodes, there are not many literary critics that pay attention to this fact. Thus, in face of such few researches about this theme, we chose to analyze in this paper the poem titled “Soneto”, in which Machado de Assis adapts chapter 38 of the Book of Job, focusing mainly the discourse and omnipotent figure of Jehovah.
