Uma leitura do conto " o rouxinol e a rosa" através de seus símbolos

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze symbols in the tale “The Nightingale and the rose”, drawing attention to how such a tale could be used in the classroom, especially among elementary school students. The study is based methodologically on a bibliographical research, analyzing works that explore the story not only in some of its various thematic possibilities but specifically in the symbols present there and the idealization of sacrifice conveyed through them. This monographic text stems from the researcher's uneasiness to understand how the children's tales of the Irish writer Oscar Wilde, published almost 150 years ago, are still so current in their implications for contemporary society.
