Abstract

Neste trabalho, analisamos o conto de Edgar Allan Poe, A máscara da morterubra, focalizando principalmente a espacialidade. Como suporte teórico,partimos da proposta da Topoanálise, elaborada a partir das ideias de Bachelard,Iuri Lotman, Osman Lins entre outros. Também recorremos ao ensaio de Poe,intitulado Filosofia do mobiliário. Em nossa análise, verificamos que o percursoespacial do texto se divide especialmente pela coordenada da interioridade,revelando-se então em exterior vs. interior. Temos o país como um espaçoenglobante e externo e, como espaço englobado e interior, aparece a abadiapara onde o duque foge com sua corte.In this paper, we analyze the short story The mask of red death by Edgar AllanPoe, focusing primarily on spatiality. As a theoretical starting point, we have theTopoanalysis proposal based on some ideas developed by Bachelard, Lotman,Osman Lins, among others. This paper also turns to Poe’s essay entitled ThePhilosophy of Furniture. In our analysis, we verify that the spatial path of thetext is divided mainly by the coordinate of the interior, revealing outside versus inside. A country as an including and an outward space and, as an enclosed andinterior space is approached by the abbey where the Duke runs away with hiscourt.
