Descrição: Dom Casmurro ([Dom Casmurro], 1899) provides a starting point for appreciating the distance separating the late-nineteenth-century Brazilian writer Machado de Assis from his contemporaries. This novel contains incongruencies, obscure passages, & disconcerting emphases, forming an enigma whose solution challenges the conformist spirit of the favored elite of Brazilian ideology. Helen Caldwell's criticism in The Brazilian Othello of Machado de Assis (Berkeley: U of California Press, 1960) caused shock waves in the Brazilian literary community by alluding to the dubious aspects of the novel's lyricism. By examining the role of the narrator, a husband relating a tale of what he sees as infidelity on the part of his wife, new perspectives are gained on this classic work. Adapted from the source document as translated by M. Meeks.
