Summary: "Dom Casmurro" by Machado de Assis is a novel written in the late 19th century. It explores themes of memory, love, jealousy, and the complexities of human relationships through the eyes of its protagonist, Bento "Bentinho" Santiago. As he confronts his past, the narrative delves into his relationships with his mother, José Dias, and his childhood friend, Capitú. The opening of "Dom Casmurro" introduces us to Bentinho in a reflective state, contemplating his life and the perception others have of him, particularly through the nickname "Dom Casmurro," which indicates a reclusive and withdrawn nature. He shares an anecdote about a chance encounter on a train that leads to his name, setting a tone of introspection. Bentinho's narrative reveals his solitude, his deliberate attempts to reconstruct his childhood home, and his motivations for writing—stemming from a desire to capture lost moments and memories as he faces the permanence of time and change. As we meet various characters such as José Dias, who becomes a significant figure in his life, the story begins to unfold the complexities of Bentinho's emotional landscape and the prologue to his connections with the significant people mentioned in his recollections.
