THE DREAM - THE MYTH OF ETERNAL RETURN IN THE NOVEL ”ŒNT¬LNIREA” BY GABRIELA ADAMEȘTEANU

Abstract

Our study proposes an analysis of how the myth of eternal return is
rewritten in this novel, through the perspective of the one who returns to the
country after a long time, not knowing whether those who greet him with open
arms are truly sincere, in the context of the involvement of the police security in
people's lives. Another technique to be analyzed is provided by the dream time
spent in the dream, despite the fact that everything took place in a fraction of a
second. Thus the dream will develop epic sequences due to the moments that the
"dreamer" in question remembers. In sleep, all events quickly follow each other, so
the story represents the duration that appears in the eyes of the dreamer in the
form of a wide unfolding. Everything that happens during the dreaming period
becomes a story simply because the dreamer remembers everything.
