Resumos Cadastrados

Resumo Inglês:

This article deals with two forms of intertextuality: rewriting and allusion.
On the one hand, by confronting Marina Carr’s Ariel (2002) and the three
Greek tragedies employed as the starting point for her play, we examine
how our contemporary world is depicted by the Irish playwright through
the shifts introduced in the texts used as sources. On the other hand,
allusion, especially the one present on the title, is also analysed, since we
understand that it offers new dimensions for the interpretation of the play.
