Capitu: Posthumous Memoirs

The interpretation of Machado de Assis' classic, Dom Casmurro , from the perspective of Domício Proença Filho.

Capitu: one of the most fascinating characters in Brazilian literature. Her story initially comes to us in Machado de Assis's Dom Casmurro , a novel of love and, above all, jealousy, where everything we know about her is told by her ex-husband. This narrative weighs heavily on her, under suspicion of adultery.

But, after all, did Capitu cheat or not? One of the most incredible mysteries in universal literature comes to an end. At least, in the imagination of Domício Proença Filho. In Capitu: Memórias póstumas , the writer interprets the clues left by the Wizard of Cosme Velho throughout his Dom Casmurro to unveil the labyrinthine soul of the character Capitu. He also sheds new light on the enigmatic Bentinho, a man capable of wishing his own son dead. Or was he Escobar's son?
