Resumo: This paper aims to read The Kindly Ones as a literary work, therefore submitting ethical questions to esthetic choices. The inversion of the narrative point-of-view – Nazi narrator-character, Jewish writer – is analyzed not as a device whose effect is to embody the voice of the one who perpetrated the acts of barbarism, but as the opposite, a reading that is mainly corroborated by the ironic tone of the work.

Nele se analisa a inversão do foco narrativo – narrador-personagem nazista, escritor judeu – não como incorporação da voz do perpetrador da barbárie, mas como seu oposto, verificado, sobretudo, pelo caráter irônico da obra.Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais2012-03-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/maaravi/article/view/1412110.17851/1982-3053.6.10.9-18Arquivo Maaravi: Revista Digital de Estudos Judaicos da UFMG; v. 6 n. 10 (2012): Ética e estética no arquivo da literatura judaica; 9-181982-3053reponame:Arquivo Maaravi: Revista Digital de Estudos Judaicos da UFMGinstname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/maaravi/article/view/14121/11302Amaral, Emíliainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-07-20T14:29:00Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/14121Revistahttp://www.periodicos.letras.ufmg.br/index.php/maaravi/indexPUBhttp://www.periodicos.letras.ufmg.br/index.php/maaravi/oai||lyslei@ufmg.br1982-30531982-3053opendoar:2020-07-20T14:29Arquivo Maaravi: Revista Digital de Estudos Judaicos da UFMG - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false
