A Psychoanalysis of The Protagonist in Paulo Coelho’s Veronika Decides To Die

Abstract

Literature is a way to understand life, to appreciate living and therefore to participate in life to the fullest of one’s potential. Brazilian Literature, which dates back to the 16th century , also has a fascinating record of people, places and times. For example, the writings of the first Portuguese explorers in Brazil, such as Pero Vaz de Caminha etc, were filled with descriptions of fauna, flora and commentary about the indigenous population that fascinated European readers. Since English is a cosmopolitan language, various literary works from several languages were translated into the English language. Some of the Brazilian works have also been translated into English language and have been read throughout the world.
