Resumo: Can we draw a parallel between the literary technique of Shakespeare and the teachings of Jewish mysticism known as Kabbalah? This is the focus of this essay. Shakespeare's art allows interpretations in different depth levels. The man portrayed by Shakespeare is a being tormented and torn between the fight against their own passions and the search for greater meaning to their existence, linked to the reconnection to a higher reality. This paper attempts to point out the possible parallels between the mystical tradition of Kabbalah and some works of Shakespeare's maturity, hoping to draw the similarities between the pieces of the English playwright and the mode of interpretation of sacred texts and certain symbolisms of Kabbalah, relating to a journey of spiritual purification. In this sense, we try to point out that the mystical content is a key part of the Shakespearean work. However, this is not frivolous and excessive exotericism but a careful work that considers a genuine responsibility about the mystery of things.

A arte de Shakespeare permite interpretações em diversos níveis de profundidade. O homem retratado por Shakespeare é um ser atormentado e dividido entre a luta contra suas próprias paixões e a busca de um significado maior para sua existência, atrelada à reconexão com uma realidade superior. O presente trabalho tenta apontar os possíveis paralelos entre a tradição mística da Kabbalah e algumas obras da maturidade de Shakespeare, na esperança de extrair as semelhanças entre as peças do dramaturgo inglês e modo de interpretação dos textos sagrados conforme certos simbolismos da Kabbalah, relativos a uma jornada de purificação espiritual. Nesse sentido, buscamos apontar que o conteúdo místico é parte fundamental da obra shakespeariana. Contudo, não se trata de exoterismo leviano e desmedido, mas um trabalho criterioso que considera uma genuína responsabilidade sobre o mistério das coisas.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2016-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronica/article/view/2375510.15448/1984-4301.2016.2.23755Letrônica; Vol. 9 No. 2 (2016): Tecnologias no aprendizado e no ensino da leitura e da escrita & Literatura e Misticismo Judaico (Kabbalah); 403-410Letrônica; v. 9 n. 2 (2016): Tecnologias no aprendizado e no ensino da leitura e da escrita & Literatura e Misticismo Judaico (Kabbalah); 403-4101984-430110.15448/1984-4301.2016.2reponame:letrônicainstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronica/article/view/23755/15329Copyright (c) 2017 Letrônicainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFerreira, Carlos Roberto BuenoLevitan, Claudio2017-02-21T19:18:07Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/23755Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronicaPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronica/oailetronica@pucrs.br||ivanetemileski@gmail.com1984-43011984-4301opendoar:2017-02-21T19:18:07letrônica - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
