In Our Time · Machado de Assis · 9 Jul 2026 podcast

Well, it's all about jealousy.

It's all about this woman, Capitu, who has watery eyes, undertow eyes, who is very seductive.

And we don't hear her voice.

We hear her through his eyes.

But he's very jealous.

He believes that his best friend, Escobar, had an affair with her.

And their child is actually his best friend and not his.

And the end of the novel, he goes and watches Othello.

And after he comes out, he keeps thinking, well, poor Desdemona, she's not guilty.

But what would have happened if she was guilty as Capitu?

And then he tries to think about ways to punish Capitu.

And in many ways, this casmurro has deceived the readers and literary critics for 50 years.

It took an American critic, Helen Caldwell, in the 80s and 90s to write The Brazilian Othello.

And she pointed out to us, which was right in front of us, you shouldn't trust this first person narrator always.

We are hearing everything from his point of view.

But his name is Bento Santiago.

So Saint Iago, Iago is within his name.

So Machado is a brilliant author that he is.

He's already showing us Iago is inside his mind.

Yeah, because I think that the drama is very important in Don Cosmo.
