<i>Doze noturnos de Holanda</i>: noite nefasta ou benfazeja noite?

Abstract

Based on the theoretical support of Gilbert Durand (2002), his imaginary theory, this study aimed to realize a hermeneutical analysis of the book Doze noturnos de Holanda (1987), by Cecília Meireles. This was possible by verifying how the writer deals with the images and symbols that express an euphemistic attitude and an acceptance of Tânatos horrendous’ face, based on the typical structures of the nocturnal regime of imaginative, in its mystical and syntactical facet.
