Ultraromanticism: characteristics, context, authors

question 1

(Enem -2010)

Sonnet

Already from death the pallor covers my face,
On my lips the breath faints,
Deaf agony the heart withers,
And it devours my mortal being disgust!
From the bed to the soft backrest
I try to retain sleep... it's already fading
The exhausted body that rest forgets...
This is the state the hurt has put me in!

Goodbye, your goodbye, my longing,
Make that insane living deprive me
And have my eyes in the dark.

Give me the hope with which I kept it!
Turn your eyes to the lover for pity,
Eyes for those who lived who no longer live!

(AZEVEDO, A. complete work. Rio de Janeiro: Nova Aguilar, 2000)

The thematic nucleus of the aforementioned sonnet is typical of the second generation of romanticism, but configures a lyricism that projects it beyond that specific moment. The foundation of this lyricism is

a) the anguish fueled by the realization of the irreversibility of death.

b) the melancholy that frustrates the possibility of reaction to the loss.

c) the lack of control over emotions caused by self-pity.

d) the wish to die as a relief for heartbreak.
