Description
- Abstract:
- In this essay I analyze the poem “Anoitecer", by Carlos Drummond de Andrade. I argue that the poet shows, through a unique reconfiguration of the Prometheus myth, a disillusioned view of modem life. The lyric voice, as a modern Prometheus, accurately depicts the soundscapes of the metropolis and of the small town, which intersect through memory and direct observation of reality.
- Neste ensaio, analiso o poema “Anoitecer”, de Carlos Drummond de Andrade. Defendo que o poeta mostra, através de uma reconfiguração única do mito de Prometeu, uma visão desiludida da vida moderna. A voz lírica, como um moderno Prometeu, retrata precisamente as paisagens sonoras da metrópole e da pequena cidade, que se cruzam através da memória e da observação direta da realidade.
