| Abstract: | In literature, as well as in philosophy, it is possible to find several examples of situations in which a human being’s moral standards are challenged. Be it because they opted for protecting themselves and their families, or for defending an ideal, we find fictional characters uttering discourses of regret towards an attitude or towards something they could have done. In addition, there are frequent debates about the responsibility of someone for their choice. In this article, we will analyse how Jean-Paul Sartre’s ideas, to be found in his text Existentialism is a humanism, could guide a discussion on the behavior of characters in Cormac McCarthy’s No country for old men and Tim O’Brien’s The things they carried. |
| Abstract: | Na literatura, assim como na filosofia, é possível encontrar inúmeros exemplos de situações em que a moral de um ser humano é desafiada. Seja por terem optado por proteger a si mesmos e suas famílias, ou defender algum ideal, encontramos personagens literárias proferindo discursos de arrependimento por uma atitude tomada ou por algo que deixaram de fazer. Além disso, são frequentes os debates a respeito da responsabilidade de alguém sobre suas escolhas. Neste artigo, analisaremos como as ideias de Jean-Paul Sartre, contidas em seu texto Existentialism is a humanism, poderiam guiar uma discussão sobre o comportamento de personagens em No country for old men, de Cormac McCarthy, e The things they carried, de Tim O’Brien. |
