- W2660212108 abstract "This discussion provides a comparison between Clarice Lispector’s The hour of the star, and Nicolai Gogol’s The overcoat. The results of the analysis show productive similarities that lead us to engage in the discussion of the origin and destiny of two seemingly unrelated characters, Macabea and Akaky Akakyevich. The comparison also shows that, despite the different centuries in which the texts were written, there are striking similarities in how both writers present their characters and their times. keywords: Russia, backlands, survival, province, metropolis. What can the relationship between a Russian Civil Servant in St. Petersburg and a girl among thousands from the impoverished Northeast of Brazil working in Rio de Janeiro possibly be? Furthermore, how can one find any connection between characters whose stories were published, respectively, in 1841, and 1977? On the surface, 134 Revista Brasileira de Literatura Comparada, n.17, 2010 such relationship is absurd, and even to propose it is a bit preposterous. And yet, since art does not obey the laws of time or respect national frontiers, there is a strong possibility that these two characters, Nicolai Gogol’s Akaky Akakyevich and Clarice Lispector’s Macabea, are related in more than one way. This does not mean, obviously, that Macabea is a version of Akaky. What this discussion wants to propose is a reflection on the ways in which Lispector, a Brazilian writer born in the Ukraine, in her last novel can be seen as taking on a provocation proposed by Dostoyevsky’s famous statement “We all come out from under Gogol’s ‘Overcoat’” while, at the same time, proposing a more radical treatment of the character and of the situation than the Russian master did. Of course, as far as literature goes, there are many “overcoats,” many influences, many sources. Although Gogol’s might have been one of the most important and he indeed has the distinction of being considered the initiator of Russian realism, Lispector gives us a clear indication of the importance of a literary tradition, through the narrator Rodrigo S. M., who says that “a palavra e fruto da palavra. A palavra tem que se parecer com a palavra” – “the word comes from the word. The word has to look like the word.” (LISPECTOR, 1984, p. 26)1. The word is not necessarily a word in any language in particular: it can come from the Brazilian masters or from the Russian master–or from both. The creation of the character Macabea, just as the creation of Akaky Akakyevich, speaks about each writer’s profound need to tell a story of a human being who deserves to be seen as well as respected. In some points, these two stories converge. In others, they distance themselves. A comparison between both will illuminate the ways in which “the word” is never the product of just one writer or one literary tradition, but that, indeed, it participates in a bigger, older, more encompassing project. Because it is the older text, we will start with Gogol’s “The overcoat”. It’s a classic of world literature and, inde1 All translations into English" @default.
