Resumo: In an attempt to atone for her false testimony accusing her sister´s lover of sexual assault, 13-year-old Briony Tallis has to live with guilt and repentance As a successful novelist, she later re-creates past events to allow the young lovers ? who are both killed in the war ? "to survive and flourish". The late revelation of embedding – Briony‘s memoirs within McEwan‘s fiction – provides the frame for our analysis which focuses on memory as its process of creation. Memory as a relationship in time and the ideal possibility of attaining its antithesis – forgetfulness - offers oblivion in answer to the protagonist‘s desire for redemption.

Memory as a relationship in time and the ideal possibility of attaining its antithesis – forgetfulness - offers oblivion in answer to the protagonist‘s desire for redemption.Na tentativa de reparar seu falso testemunho ao acusar o amante de sua irmã de violência sexual, Briony Tallis, de 13 anos, precisa viver com a culpa e o arrependimento. Como uma romancista de sucesso, ela mais tarde recria os eventos do passado para permitir aos jovens amantes – ambos mortos na guerra – ?que sobrevivam e floresçam?. A tardia revelação do remorso – as memórias de Briony dentro da ficção de McEwan – fornece o arcabouço para nossa análise, que se concentra na memória como seu processo de criação. A memória como uma relação no tempo e a possibilidade ideal de alcançar sua antítese – o esquecimento – oferece o olvido em resposta ao desejo de redenção da protagonista.Universidade Federal de Goiás2011-11-08info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ufg.br/sig/article/view/1615110.5216/sig.v23i1.16151Signótica; Vol. 23 No. 1 (2011); 165-178Signótica; v. 23 n. 1 (2011); 165-1782316-36900103-7250reponame:Signótica (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)instacron:UFGporhttps://revistas.ufg.br/sig/article/view/16151/10359de Azevedo, Mail Marquesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2018-01-31T12:26:53Zoai:ojs.revistas.ufg.br:article/16151Revistahttp://www.revistas.ufg.br/index.php/sig/indexPUBhttps://www.revistas.ufg.br/sig/oaisignotica@gmail.com2316-36900103-7250opendoar:2024-05-21T19:57:09.445105Signótica (Online) - Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)true
