Abstract

The present article aims to discuss the experience of the traumatic memory of death from the narrative perspective of the tale "Come and see the sunset" by Lygia Fagundes Telles. Using the theoretical basis of YI-Fu Tuan (2013), Edward Relph (2012), Michael Pollack (1992) and Maurice Halbwachs (2006), an interpretation of the work will be sought regarding the romantic relationship of the couple Ricardo and Raquel and how the notions of memory, identity and space hatch at tense moments of narrative. Understanding this, the story's potential to build a traumatic memory of death in the character Raquel, from his Via Crucis, which goes from his encounter with the ex-boyfriend to his mausoleum.
