Abstract:
We propose to analyze the representation of vindictive behavior in characters present in two distinct works in order to reflect on differences between characters in English and Japanese literature. For this it was used as corpus, the works Hamlet (1600) of the English playwright William Shakespeare and Zetsuen no Tempest (2010-2013) of the Japanese manga artist Kyo Shirodaira. For the foundation of the analysis of these works will be used as theoretical support mainly the notions of intertextuality of Tiphaine Samoyault (2008). This work also features a brief summary of the authors' life and works in order to understand their inspirations and previous works. Based on this the texts were analyzed from a comparative perspective based also on the experiences of each author and historical context that the work was written.
