DESTINY DIED SUDDENLY: FUN AND RESISTANCE IN ALVES REDOL
Keywords:
Entertainment, resistance, Alves Redol.Abstract
It is the goal of the present article to study the play Fate has died suddenly by Alves Redol, with the following two aspects as starting points: its entertaining character as understood in its scenic language and its theme of resistance. In the referred work, the author tries to aim both at his spectator’s senses and at his intelligence, joining entertainment and the denunciation of social injustice of his time. Based on these notions, the ingredients of the play as a piece of entertainment and the maladjustments which it reflects, being written under the Salazar regime, will be examined simultaneously. The theoretical reference adopted consists basically of Bertolt Brecht’s conceptions, which consider the theatre a fairground, combined with a critical attitude towards reality.Downloads
