RESUMO

Mário de Sá Carneiro, before writing A Confissão de Lúcio, had got in touch with Decadent, a late trend of the 19th century, which was characterized by a certain distress before the world. The Decadent theme, as suggested by its own name, surrounds around a pessimistic view of life in keeping with the most distinguished generation of the Romanticism. The Decadent writers worship the bizarre and the eccentricity, the dark nights, introspection and death. The view of a decadent world is very peculiar and there is a great interest in the inner and secret universe of the characters, this view also leads to appreciation of the mystery and fantastic. The Decadent literature still suggests an endless search in order to end up boredom which can be reached by using the extreme of the sensations as well as the sense of artificiality. The settings are always urban and frequently bizarre with lights, reflexes and a large number of stimulus to our senses. Nothing in the decadent aesthetics seems to be natural, mainly the art, which besides being considered superior it is still elevated to the condition of the extremes. As it can be noticed the characteristics of Decadent are present at the whole work and this dissertation intends to reveal how they appear in A Confissão de Lúcio.
