Wandering jew, Imortalidade, Coelho NetoAbstract
Despite individual efforts, the figure of the Wandering Jew in Brazilian literature has not been studied enough. The aim of this article is to illustrate how the themes of Faust and the Wandering Jew, which were already mentioned in Matthew Gregory Lewis’s The Monk (2002), are utilized in Coelho Neto’s Imortalidade (1925) in an ingenious combination, which nonetheless contains the fundamental themes of the Wandering Jew narrative: supernatural longevity, wandering and offense against divinity.
