| Resumo: | Camões and Torquato Tasso wrote important epic poems in their times and shared common interests liked to the rise of a concept of Europe as Christian unity and the conflict with real and imaginary enemies related to Islam. By defining who heroes and antagonists are, the poets were submitted to the catholic orthodoxy, since enemies are not only individuals (Arabs, Persians, Hindus or Africans), but also concepts and abstractions, such as demonic forces that act inside the consciousness. This paper seeks to evince who are the friends and enemies of the law in The Lusiads and Jerusalem delivered. |
