The research delves into the unique forms and content of tragedy in Nelson Rodrigues' plays, emphasizing an aesthetic and hermeneutic analysis. It posits that Rodrigues' approach to tragedy is paradoxical; his works embody a "flaw" that is intrinsic to the structure of language, which serves as the basis for modernist tragedy. The study argues that in the post-Greek era, the essence of tragedy and the tragic is achieved through this inherent failure, redefining traditional notions of tragic expression.
