Descrição
Resumo:In Greek tragedy, the blind character is commonly linked to wisdom and the acuteness of the senses. In the play O cego, by Joaquim Manuel de Macedo, however, the lack of physical sight gathers in Paul romantic subjectivism and the inexorable fate of tragic heroes. Beyond that, in the course of action, Paul's blindness will bring to the other characters, further principles related to drama and classical tragedy. So, analyzing the components of O Cego, this article aims at revealing the genealogical hybridity that appears in the construction of this dramaturgical text by Macedo.
