Certainly tragic: Capitu not betrayed or betrayed? Capitu reaffirms the doubt in this Dom Casmurro as part of the cultural process of modernity. In his time, Machado has emerged as a breakthrough, with a new proposal aesthetic and intellectual, of extreme modernity on the season and the very literature that was produced in the country and the world. The writer has put a formal text with modernity, without giving up a sensitive reflection on the facets of the human soul.
Dom Casmurro not a mere reproduction of the customs of an age. In addition to bringing the contradictions of the social world of the nineteenth century, the text goes beyond these issues, addressing topics such as the passage of time, awareness of the finitude of things, love, friendship, betrayal of the doubt and also the tragic, all that without giving the irony and humor machadianos.
Even today, and at any time, the story of Capitu happens in Copacabana, Sydney or New York, with people of all ages, classes and races.
With a modern and timeless language, the series tells the story of the intense love between Bentinho and Capitu, the question of Pope Benedict Santiago have been betrayed and that certainly leads in terms of imagination. It is precisely because both instigate the imagination of its readers so far that the work Sun Casmurro continues in motion, giving life to Machado.
