Authors

  • Vanderléia de Andrade Haiski

Abstract

ABSTRACT: This study aims to investigate how the event of the Holocaust is represented in literature and film. So, we chose the literary work The Pawnbroker (1961), written by Edward Lewis Wallant and the homonym film version, directed by Sidney Lumet in 1964, to exemplify those representations. Through the protagonist of these works, the pawnbroker Sol Nazerman, we can observe how the trauma caused by the violent event of Holocaust is represented. This work will be based on literary theory, as well as other areas of knowledge such as psychoanalysis.
