Homoerotic and Fiscal Fantasies in Antonio’s Inwardness: Fear and Desire of Castration
Keywords:
Interioridade, Relações homoeróticas, Subjetividade, Shakespeare, O mercador de Veneza.Abstract
Esta pesquisa discute a estranha relação entre Antonio e Bassanio, assim
como a relação do mercador com Shylock. Sua relação é representada como
homoerótica e o desejo de um sacrifício inexplicável de Antonio por Bassanio
sugere aspectos da interioridade de Antonio. Shylock também é representado
como o pai primordial da peça, e esse detalhe sugere a causa da tristeza de
Antonio no começo da peça. O conceito de interioridade é pensado por Maus
(1995) como um construto social e cultural da Renascença Inglesa. Ela analisa
a interioridade tomando como base a oposição entre aparências, considerando
falsas e enganosas na época, e interioridade, que era tida como manifestações
sinceras e verdadeiras das dimensões interiores do indivíduo.
