A TELA CONTEMPLADA

INQUIETAÇÕES EM CARLOS DRUMMOND ANDRADE

Abstract

This work is guided by a reading of the lyric of Carlos Drummond de Andrade, focusing on the poem “Oficina irritada” from the book Claro enigma (1951), through which an analysis of the reflection that the poet makes about poetry in the modern society, evidencing, above all, the predominantly problematic relationship between the self and the world, as well as the dramatic intersection of tensions, concerns of a poet uncomfortable in the face of the obligatoriness of certainties. The poet, in full maturity, builds the poem at the cost of irresignation and a surprising and excessive violence, as a strategy in the relationship with the reader.
