| description | The poem The Raven, by Edgar Allan Poe (1965a), presents the conversation between a man grieving for his beloved Lenore, and a raven which invades his room during a winter night. The speaker’s questions to the bird are always answered with the word “nevermore”, which eventually intensifies his sorrow, as he faces the fact that he will nevermore see his beloved one. Also, he realizes that the crow will never leave his room, as well as his sadness will never leave his heart. According to Poe, the raven symbolizes the speaker’s state of mind. At the same time, his state of mind is a result of the dialogue between him and the raven, i.e., between his intimacy and an outside element which invades your room. The present article aims to investigate this dialectical relationship between the inside and the outside, intimacy and exteriority, in The Raven, as well as in an adaptation of this poem to comics, by Luciano Irrthum (2001). This investigation is based on Bachelard’s considerations presented in The Poetics of Space. |

This investigation is based on Bachelard’s considerations presented in The Poetics of Space. O poema O Corvo, de Edgar Allan Poe (1965a), apresenta a conversa entre um homem, em luto por sua amada Lenore, e um corvo que invade seu quarto em uma noite de inverno. As perguntas do eu lírico ao pássaro do mau agouro são sempre respondidas com a palavra nevermore (nunca mais), o que acaba por intensificar sua angústia ao encarar o fato de que nunca mais verá sua amada. Assim como o corvo nunca mais deixará seus aposentos, sua tristeza nunca mais deixará seu coração. De acordo com Poe, o corvo simboliza o estado de alma do eu lírico. Ao mesmo tempo, esse estado de alma se desenvolve no diálogo entre o eu lírico e o corvo, entre sua intimidade e um elemento de fora, que invade seu quarto. O presente artigo tem por objetivo investigar essa relação dialética entre interior e exterior no poema de Poe, bem como em uma adaptação dele para histórias em quadrinhos, realizada por Luciano Irrthum (2001). Essa investigação tomará como base as considerações de Bachelard (1993), expostas em A Poética do Espaço. 2015-01-30 2022-03-18T16:20:37Z 2022-03-18T16:20:37Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/letras/article/view/6361 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/61755 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/letras/article/view/6361/5241 Copyright (c) 2015 Revista de Letras application/pdf Revista de Letras Revista de Letras Revista de Letras; Vol. 53 No. 2 (2013) Revista de Letras; v. 53 n. 2 (2013) 1981-7886 0101-3505 |
