About this document
Intertextuality in Lusiads and Message by ScribdTranslations is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The poems sing the greatness of Portugal from different perspectives. While Os Lusíadas celebrates the Portuguese Empire at its height, Mensagem addresses the decline of the empire and proposes a new spiritual vision. Both use heroes like Vasco da Gama to symbolize Portuguese heroism, but differ in their focus on action versus dream and abstraction.
