Historic context

Joaquim Manuel de Macedo produced romances of costume passed in Rio de Janeiro during the nineteenth century. His books mix spontaneous realism and folkloric sets that capture the attention of the scarce audience at the time.

Alongside Gonçalves Dias e Araujo Porto-Alegre, Joaquim Manuel de Macedo participated in the commission of the Guanabara magazine, which was published between 1849 and 1855.

A magazine was of fundamental importance for Brazilian literature because it consolidated the process of independence and the beginning of romanticism in the country.

A figure of love not romanticism

Além de movimento literário, or romanticism was an ideal of life and love for young people. The goal of the XIX century, or Rio de Janeiro was the capital of the Empire and the Court was the central place of two relationships, which contavam with the growing Rio de Janeiro bourgeoisie.

In an era of many new innovations born in the city, the bourgeoisie was affirmed as a dominant class and the relationships involved, apart from love, more practical questions, such as gifts and marriages. O romance explores bem essa nova facet of love for the time.

I consulted with my buttons how I should begin and I concluded that in order to carry myself romantically I would have to love some girl who is in the fourth order.

In the classical aristocracy, the marriages were used as a way to strengthen alliances, and the countries were to decide on the relationship between two filhos. Or romantic romance or bourgeois romanceThis is, no matter how interested this person is, you can give your opinion on your marriage.

Some situations that or romance portrays the women who correspond as more of a love to the same time. It was important to guarantee or match, and a girl could hardly depend on a single person. The more love she is, the more chance she had to get married.

Or first Brazilian romantic romance

Or book by Joaquim Manuel de Macedo is considered the first Brazilian romantic romance. A novel formula of the book will be found throughout his extensive work.

Or theme of a prohibited love - a romance that cannot be carried out with ease - and a colloquial language with comic situations with common characteristics in all his works.

More to disorder and to fashion! O bel is not puzzled; or sublime not that is not understood; or feio es only or that we can understand: isto é romântico

The greatest merit of the writer was, using the European Romanesque formula, to portray national situations, classes and environments.

A paradisiacal island, where or romance passes, it is a small distance from Rio de Janeiro. A high society of Rio de Janeiro also represented me not livro as his habits and his peculiar relationships.

Cenário do romance ("a ilha de ...")

Another part of the romance happens in a way that the author does not quote or does not mention, referring to it by means of reluctance. Therefore, a description of the illustration and some of his biography will lead me to believe that he is located in Paquetá.

Apos or launching of romance, to the island of Paquetá became the most visited by the Rio de Janeiro court, and the succession of the book of Joaquim Manuel de Macedo served as propaganda for the local. Regardless of the romance and the writer, it is great for him to have one of his praias ganhou or name of Moreninha.
