Résumé

Resumo: As alusões ao mito de Orfeu em “Lycidas” de John Milton serão analisadas pela perspectiva de um signo relacional. Uma vez que o poema apresenta olhares opostos e diferentes incorporados no seu texto, a reescrita renascentista do mito de Orfeu será associada às mudanças de olhares, será acessada como a estrutura modeladora subjacente às transições entre um ponto de vista inocente e um ponto de vista iluminado e será pensada como uma tomada (fragmentada) de consciência no processo de definição de duas ordens de existência: a humana e a divina.

Palavras-chave: olhar; ponto de vista; Orfeu; Milton.

Abstract: In John Milton’s “Lycidas” the allusions to the Orpheus myth will be analyzed through the perspective of a relational sign. Since the poem has different and opposing gazes incorporated into the text, the Renaissance rewriting of the Orpheus myth will be associated with the changes of gazes, will be assessed as the modeling frame that underlies the transitions from an innocent to an enlightened viewpoint, and will be focused as the fragmented configuration of consciousness in the process of defining two orders of existence: the human and the divine.

Keywords: gaze; viewpoint; Orpheus; Milton.
