Summary of Or it doesn't give me pink

Two Franciscans ao mosteiro

When the Franciscan monk Guilherme de Baskerville visited a Beneditine monastery north of Italy, in 1327, he had not imagined or would live in the next few days.

Guilherme takes with him or boyfriend Adso de Melk, a young man who comes from an elite family that is under his tutoring.

The narrator of the story or the long Adso, which highlights the events in his youth. Here it is possible to perceive the contrast between youth and velhice, or to place the same person in two different moments of life.

You chegam à cavalo to a huge mosteiro and are raised to a room where janela gives it and it is possible to see a small cemetery. Guilherme observes a urubu hovering over a newly covered cova, knowing that a young priest had died for a short time in doubtful circumstances.

To investigation

From then on, the master and apprentice began an investigation into the case, which was seen as the work of a demon with other religious hairs.

Like passing the tempo, other deaths ocorrem and Guilherme and Adso seek to relate them and understand the mystery that surrounds a religious institution.

Assim, they discovered that the existence of a secret library was linked to morbid events of the place. Such a library kept books and writings considered dangerous for the Catholic Church.

Isso because these records continue teachings and reflections of classical antiquity that place us in check the Catholic dogmas and the Christian faith.

Some of the spreading creations of powerful hair from the high clergy were that it was a laugh, a diversion and a comedy distorted society, pulling the focus of spirituality and fear of God. Assim, it was not recommended that you religious rissem.

One of the two forbidden books that was in the library was a supposed work of the Greek thinker Aristotle that dealt precisely with the subject.

Guilherme e Adso conseguem, through rational and investigative thinking, I checked into a library, a place that contains a huge number of works. The construction of such a place was quite complex, or that it would transform into a true labyrinth.

Abuses da Igreja e a paixão de Adso

A plot also tells about dinners that denounce the abuses of the Igreja committed against the people of the country. They costumavam doações of food to or poor poor in exchange of sexual exploration.

At any given moment, Adso stands as a young woman (the only one who appears not entangled), and you two become sexually involved, at a cheia dinner of eroticism and guilt. Adso goes on to develop amorous feelings for the Camponese.

To Inquisição

It is the monastery who has been a former defiance of Guilherme, Bernardo Gui, a powerful frei who is two arms of the Holy Inquisition. I have attached it to rush complaints of these heretics and bruxaries.

Bernardo thus stands as an obstacle for Baskerville and Adso to conclude their investigations, which is still causing problems among the top leadership.

Some events occurred involving two frades and a Camponese because Adso was beaten. You three are indicted as heretics, being that a girl is seen as a bruxa.

A court was held with the intention that they confessed to the assassinations and were later burned in the fire.

Not at the moment when you are placed in the fire place and a majority of people accompany or unenroll two fatos, Guilherme and Adso, I have attached to the library to save some works.

Or unroll two fatos

They stood with Jorge de Burgos, one of the two greatest priests of the mosteiro, who was the same blind and decrepit was or the true "guardian" of the library. Guilherme then realizes that all the mortals tinham as responsável or velho Jorge.

In a moment of confusion, a big fire begins in the library, where Jorge de Burgos ends up dying and Adso and his master saem with life carrying some books.

Due to the fire, I did not show, as the attention was diverted from the fire and the fireworks, but also, Camponesa managed to escape.

Adso and Guilherme know the local and follow different rumors in life, never again finding each other. Subtract from Adso the oculi of seu mestre and a lembrança da paixão pela Camponesa, which he never knows or does not know.

Analysis and curiosities about the work

History is passed in a crucial moment of humanity when a transition from medieval thought to Renaissance reasoning takes place.

Assim, Guilherme de Baskerville represents humanism, or logical thinking, as new ideas, to valorization of science and human beings. It happened that other religious people symbolized the backward and mystical thought that enveloped all of Europe during the medieval period.
