Title: To what jealousy can lead us
Review: Machado de Assis did, in this wonderful book, a treatise on men`s fears during a relationship. Bentinho is a sick man whose life and personality are linked to a strong lack of self-confidence. So, as he marries Capitu, and even before his marriage, his jealous attitudes lead to the destruction of his and hers only chance to be happy. The book is also one of the greatest doubts in Brazilian literature: nobody can be sure whether Capitu betrayed Bentinho or not.
