Apesar do horrivel - ainda intrigante - sentimento da dúvida eterna que Machado de Assis nos coloca, o modo como a história percorre, é desapontante.”“incrível, não tanto pela história mas sim pela preciosidade da escrita.”

“I really don't have words to describe it. Amazing, delightful, misterious, contagious. It's a pitty that most of people read it with a pair of blind eyes, without an open minded, an open heart to the breath-taking irony of Machado de Assis. Those who hated it had just made a mistake, they simply don't understand what they've read.”

“"Capitú traiu ou não Bentinho?"

Como esperado, encontrei aqui essa famosa pergunta também. Existe até mesmo teses de doutorado sobre a questão e até hoje ninguém chegou a uma conclusão concreta. Por quê? Por que não existiu Capitú, nem Bentinho, nem Escobar e nem o ciúme. Isso é literatura! Machado de Assis escreveu para causar uma sensação, a da dúvida, e essa é a suprema arte do livro. Não existe resposta para essa pergunta e nem nunca haverá. Machado de Assis é um mestre nas sensações. Qualquer "saber" sobre a traição de Capitú é fruto do desejo humano, da curiosidade pessoal. E ele brinca com isso, com as nossas espectativas.
Machado de Assis é ou não um gênio da nossa literatura?”

Fica a duvida..”“Li uma versão bem condensada da história e mesmo assim senti uma certa dificuldade devido a linguagem do livro. Fiz um esforço muito grande para que não abandonasse a leitura do livro,mas no final acabei gostando da história,apesar de não gostar muito de classicos da literatura.”

“A classic of the brazilian literature, wether you want to or not, your teacher forces you to read it. But hey, it's amazing! The way the narator talks about his own life, the way he ruins his on life in the story, the way he makes you believe things happened the way he thinks. It's up to you decide if he was right or not. In my opinion, he was a jerk.”

“Machado de Assis is a Brazilian writer; quite skilfull, but his pace becomes boring after a while. This story specifically is sort of an Othelo-like; with deceit, unsure cheating (it's not clear in the book) and lots of questions. ”
