Errâncias em Hotel Atlântico, de João Gilberto Noll

Abstract

The aim of this dissertation is to study the wandering in Hotel Atlântico, by João Gilberto Noll, in three aspects. Firstly, the study presents linked places and time in the story as indispensable elements to the first steps of a jorney with two defined points: the protagonist during his trajectory goes from Rio de Janeiro until Rio Grande do Sul. In sequence, the study shows this jorney as the structural thread of the story and the expression of the error, in its limits expressed by mutilation and death. The carnavalization is seen in the narrator’s way through his aspect of bedy life: from the grotesque until the cenes of opened mouth natural’s necessities satisfactions and the sex, themes of parties and satires, in the tension between lowering and elevation. The narrator remains between the wandering and the carnavalization.
