| Summary | "A Lenda da Meia-Noite" by Manuel Pinheiro Chagas is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story appears to intertwine elements of supernatural legend and romance, focusing on a group gathered at an old country house, where discussions and tales of fearsome myths unfold. The primary characters include D. Isaura, a delicate and imaginative young woman, and Henrique Osorio, a passionate man captivated by her, as well as other guests at the estate who stimulate lively debates about the eerie tales associated with midnight. The opening of the novel sets a picturesque scene in a rural setting dominated by nature, emphasizing the isolation of a large, old house where an evening gathering takes place. As guests enjoy their time together, conversations shift to the ominous ambiance brought by the night and the tolling of the midnight bell. D. Isaura expresses her fear of the supernatural, igniting discussions about ghosts and legends, while Henrique seeks to impress her. The atmosphere grows tense as the clock approaches midnight, leading to a collective apprehension regarding the time associated with apparitions and ghosts, showcasing the interplay of fear, fascination, and romantic tension among the characters. Overall, the scene is rich in detailed descriptions that evoke the mysterious essence of the tale, leaving readers eager to discover what lies beyond the hour of midnight.
