PRADO, José Henrique da Silva. O mal-estar na literatura: uma leitura comparatista . Rev. Mal-Estar e Subj. [online]. 2004, vol.4, n.1, pp.156-170. ISSN 1518-6148.

The aim of this work is developing a comparative study between two important short stories of world-wide literature: The fall of the house of Usher, by Edgar Allan Poe and A house takenover, by Julio Cortázar. First we're going to make an individual analysis of each one of the stories in order to, after that, compare the two texts, searching to identify its similarities and differences. The methodology used in our work is based upon the theory of the intertextuality, that tries to point up, in general lines, how an author uses another one as his source, i.e., how a work finds its own originality taking for base another work already done. In this particular case, that means analyzing the uses made by Cortázar of given elements found in Poe's short story, i.e., the contributions brought by the Argentine author when making the re-reading of the story of the North American writer. It's important to say our intention is not to try to identify which one of the two authors is best, but look for common points in the two short stories, the distinguishing marks that stand out in both texts. The bibliography that we will use in our study contains not only works related specifically to the studied writers, but it also includes texts, books and articles linked to the areas of comparative literature and literary theory.
