Cristo, Igreja, Deus, Orfeu, AnimalResumo
O objetivo desta pesquisa é a interpretação do artifício poético de Williams quanto ao uso de animais, bestas mitológicas e criaturas simbólicas em peças teatrais e contos. Através de uma perspectiva interdisciplinar, comparamos diferentes casos, como a iguana em A noite do iguana, pássaros e tartarugas marinhas em De repente, no último verão, o grifo em O trem da manhã não para mais aqui, o gato em A maldição, entre outros. Essas criaturas simbólicas são alusões à anima dos personagens fantásticos, significando a parte irracional da alma. Na iconografia religiosa, esses simbolismos são amplamente difundidos. As criaturas simbólicas constituem o subtexto de espiritualidade e de evanescência na obra de Williams.
