Resumo: Riobaldo, the protagonist narrator of Grande sertão: veredas, is a man disturbed by recollections of a past he does not understand. In his youth he experienced things that he could not grasp. Now as an old man he devotes himself to seeking comforting explanations for those events. Riobaldo tries to find truths and certainties; however, his taste for, in his own words "speculating idea ", creates a lot of difficulties for him to achieve this goal. Following his thoughts, the reader can perceive that "speculating idea" means among other things to problematize, one by one, all the propositions of his reflections. This tendency engenders an uninterrupted process of change, which prevents him from attaching any enduring sense to his thoughts. The intense use of paradoxes in the novel contributes to this effect as well. To approach this question here a discussion of some aspects of the complex relationship between freedom, fate, and chance present in Grande sertão: veredas was carried out.

Tendo vivido na juventude experiências cujo sentido não consegue alcançar, dedica-se agora, na velhice, a procurar, para elas, explicações tranquilizadoras. Riobaldo busca verdades e certezas, entretanto o seu “gosto de especular ideia”, para usar suas próprias palavras, cria muitas dificuldades ao cumprimento desse objetivo. Acompanhando o curso das reflexões do ex-jagunço, pode-se perceber que uma das coisas que “especular ideia” significa é problematizar, uma por uma, todas as proposições alcançadas em cada momento da reflexão no instante mesmo em que se propõem, instaurando um processo de mudança incessante que impede a fixação de qualquer sentido último. Contribui, também, na construção desse efeito de indeterminação de sentidos a intensa utilização de paradoxos no livro. Para o desenvolvimento dessa questão, discutiu-se alguns aspectos da complexa relação entre liberdade, destino e acaso que se dá em Grande sertão: veredas.Edunisc2017-06-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/signo/article/view/727510.17058/signo.v42i74.7275Signo; v. 42 n. 74 (2017); 163-1731982-2014reponame:Signo (Santa Cruz do Sul.
