LITERATURE, SYMBOLISM AND IDENTITY IN VERGÍLIO FERREIRA: SPACE AND IDEOLOGY IN MANHÃ SUBMERSA – FROM THE NOVEL TO THE FILM

Luis Cardoso

Abstract


In the novel Manhã Submersa, Vergílio Ferreira devotes a deep attention to the treatment of space that acquires a strong symbolism and that translates into a vector for the construction of the identity of the main character. Space, physical and psychological, is very important for the inner development of the main character, for its influences and echoes in the personality, which is changing. When the novel is adapted to the cinema, the director also used the space as a fundamental element for the narrative and characterization of the character, noting, however, an oscillation between social space and psychological space, between romance and film.
