Resumo: | Abstract: This dissertation is focused on only two of Agatha Christie’s earlier works on detective fiction featuring her second most famous sleuth Miss Marple namely: Thirteen Problems (1930) which was published in the United States of America under the name of Tuesday’s Night Club and Murder at the Vicarage (1932). 2 From 1900 to 1930 goes a time span of just thirty years, but they were crucial to Humanity. They were days of development and devastation, of suffering and enjoyment as the world had to deal with one World War and its aftermath. In order to better understand the character Miss Jane Marple several events of Agatha Christie’s own private life were taken into consideration. Agatha Christie places her character in the tiny village of Saint Mary’s Mead to make her look credible and between these two elements there is an interchange that helps in the characterization of both. In the end Miss Marple reveals herself, she is far more than the frail, old spinster who enjoys snooping and has a knack for murder, is the embodiment of Englishness. |

De 1900 a 1930 vão apenas trinta anos que, no entanto, se revelaram cruciais para a Humanidade. Dias em que o mundo assistiu a progressos e devastação, a sofrimento e alegrias, e se viu confrontado com a Guerra Mundial I e as suas consequências. Com o intuito de conseguir compreender melhor o personagem Miss Jane Marple vários acontecimentos da vida pessoal de Agatha Christie foram tomados em linha de conta. A autora coloca o personagem na minúscula aldeia de Saint Mary Mead, a fim de a tornar credível e entre estes dois elementos há um entrecruzamento que ajuda à caracterização de ambos. Miss Marple acaba por revelar-se muito para além da frágil e idosa solteirona, que gosta de bisbilhotar e tem uma queda para resolver crimes. Na verdade, ela encarna o espírito inglês da sua época.Serras, Adelaide MeiraRepositório da Universidade de LisboaTerenas, Maria João Faria Pessoa2014-09-24T16:10:14Z2014-06-252014-02-042014-06-25T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10451/12119TID:201894360enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-11-08T15:58:49Zoai:repositorio.ul.pt:10451/12119Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T21:35:36.098852Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
