Homem rio uma leitura metafórica sobre a denúncia social em O Cão sem plumas, de João Cabral de Melo Neto

Abstract

The main focus of this work is to understand, through the metaphor analyzed in the poem O Dog without Plumas - 1950, by João Cabral de Melo Neto, the social denunciation portrayed and described in the poem, as well as talking about the way in which man and the river are seen and treated along their trajectory. In this sense, the objective of this course conclusion work is to analyze the metaphor built in the põem O Cão sem plumas, thinking about this poetry as resistance, to time, period and how it will survive at that moment. We used as a methodology a research of theoretical bibliographical character the theoretical base is behaved by the authors: Castro (1948), Cohen (1996) and Lefebve (1980). In order to reflect on the man and the metaphor constructed when talking about his trajectory, considering that the poet uses comparison to discuss poetry, showing his point of view about what was exposed to him about his city of origin, the work João Cabral and the poet Vinicius de Moraes, both diplomats and with a great talent for poetry, João Cabral would have said that Vinicius wrote poetry for rocking the reader while he did it to throw him to the ground (MELO NETO, 2020, p.10). It is precisely this type of effect that the poem causes, a work of great impact on society. Remembering that, talking about one of the works of one of the most important poets of modernism like João Cabral is not an easy task, considering that he is known as the engineer poet, precisely for building his poems in an ingenious, organized way. For a better understanding of João Cabral, we will also talk about his origin chronologically, which took place in the 1945 generation, the third modernist generation.
