ENTRE A REALIDADE E O SONHO: UMA LEITURA DE “TABACARIA” DE FERNANDO PESSOA E SUA RELAÇÃO COM O ECLESIASTES

Abstract

THE PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER IS TO ANALYZE “TABACARIA”, A POEM WRITTEN BY FERNANDO PESSOA. IN ORDER TO DO THIS WE AIM TO STRESS THE MAIN SUBJECTS OF THE TEXT, ESPECIALLY THE PHILOSOPHICAL INQUIRIES ABOUT KNOWLEDGE OF REALITY, PESSIMISM, DEATH AND THE EMPHASIS GIVEN TO SENSATIONS OF THE POETIC SELF IN CONFRONTATION WITH ELEMENTS OF THE SURROUNDING. IN A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS, THE TEXT IS COMPARED WITH THE BIBLICAL ECCLESIASTES, AS WELL AS WITH OTHER FERNANDO PESSOA’S POEMS, ESPECIALLY THOSE IN WHICH SOME THEMES OF “TABACARIA” REAPPEAR.
