Zeno Cosini, uma identidade possível?

Abstract

in 1923, the novel La coscienza di Zeno (Confessions of Zeno/Zeno's conscience) is important for building a narrative which brings in its core the modernity which disrupts and transgresses literary model´s rules.The man described in it will be branded by frustrations, surrounded by nothingness, tormented by life´s anguish.In that context the narrator -Zeno Cosini -is introduced, whose character is dubious since the preface by his supposedly text editor and psychoanalyst.Puzzling and ambiguous, mister Cosini calls upon the use of many masks to cover his identity throughout his memories.By trying to hide and cover himself all the time, Zeno leaves to his reader an intriguing question about his identity, as well as the challenge of trying to answer "Who is Zeno, anyway?".Therefore, this paper aims at investigating Zeno Cosini's possible identities.Following the deepest ways of his speech, the following paper seeks unveiling, uncovering Cosini that behind his masks, his ironic and ambiguous discourse hides such a fragmented and multiple identity as mankind of his age.It is not intended to label this writer even because it would be impossible.Our main goal is to trace his steps, hear his dissonant voices in order to reach a conclusion over his personality traits and identity structured through the narrative.
