Abstract

The Shattered Reason in A maçã no escuro. The apple in the dark by Clarice Lispector, tells the story of Martin, a statisctical man, throughout sparing information. Martin, a frustrated and withdrawn hero, believes he has committed a crime: the murdering of his wife. In an extreme situation of isolation, he reveals a problematization immersed in an accommodation to the social order. If in the 19th century the hero in conflict appears in his wholeness, from the first decades of the 20th century on the extreme characterization of this hero will achieve a more drastic situation.
