“Diadorim, meu amor” ou o Narciso Afogado: O mito do andrógino e ritos de passagem em Grande Sertão: Veredas

Abstract

The present article studies the way that Diadorim - character from Sertão: Veredas, from João Guimarães Rosa -, vivifies and represents the archetype of totality represented by the Androgynous: emblematic entity, contradictory and also harmonic, double and unique, at the same time coincident and opposite. For this we will use the concepts and developments of this myth, passing first by an elucidation given both by the literary of psychological, such as the history of religions. Conscious of the breadth and depth that this issue involves the study of character will make it relating to 'themes of ritual initiation' at the light of the metaphysical, esoteric and symbolic contained in the text will be considered especially the specific episodes of death and funeral of the hero, after bloody battle.
