A configuração das personagens em Madona dos Páramos, de Ricardo Guilherme Dicke

Abstract

This dissertation aims to analyze the configuration of the characters in the novel "Madona dos Parámos" by Ricardo Guilherme Dicke. We check how the evil argument is manisfested in the characters' actions in the book of Mato Grosso' s writer. As a theoretical contribution, we use Paul Ricoeur' s reflections, exeposed in The evil work: a challenge to philosophy and theology (1988) and in the article "Le scandale du mal" (1988). To this end, the present dissertation consists in two chapters: the first covers Richard Guilherme Dicke's story: the second describes the characters’s profile and approaches specific issues about the evil according to Ricoeur that is categorized into two groups: the evil done and the evil suffered.
