Dom Casmurro
by Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis
'Dom Casmurro' Summary
Bento Santiago, narrador de Dom Casmurro, relata sua vida desde a juventude até a maturidade, com foco especial na relação passional com Capitu, uma mulher de beleza e mistério. O amor de Bento por Capitu é abalado por um intenso ciúme, alimentado por dúvidas e suposições sobre a fidelidade dela. Ele se tortura com a memória de momentos e eventos, procurando desvendar o enigma do passado e a verdadeira natureza do relacionamento com Capitu. A obra é um estudo profundo da fragilidade da memória, do poder da subjetividade e da dificuldade de separar a realidade da ficção, culminando em uma narrativa que desafia a própria ideia de verdade e culpa.Book Details
