| description | This article embraces an analisys of the velho do Restelo speech, in Os
Lusadas, which retakes the Greek chorus within its wisdom, voice of reason and
consciousness. This speech is lately retaken by Fernando Pessoa in Mensagem and by Jos
Saramago with Fala do velho do Restelo in Poemas Possveis and in Memorial do Convento. In Os Lusadas there is criticism on the sea expansion, greedness and, consequently, the
expansion of Catholic faith. In Mensagem, Fernando Pessoa shows two different and opposing points of view: criticism of expansion because of Lusitanian loss and suffering,
which valued the conquest and the sacrifice. In Os Poemas Possveis, Saramago mentions
the spatial race and the Vietnamese War, through the hunger and napalm, this way
criticising the depreciation of vital essence. In Memorial do Convento, the author criticises
the construction of the monastery of Mafra, in which the men abandoned their wives and
children in order to work in favour of progress. The chorus of Greek tragedy contains this
voice of wisdom, precisely recaptured in literature, by the velho do Restelo speech. |
