Abstract

This is not really an essay on comparative literature. By using the artcraft of both the Irish writer Oscar Wilde and the Cuban Reinaldo Arenas we tried to advance some ideas and analysis on freedom and the impact of social environment on their creations. The article is aimed to prove how our notion of freedom is always behind, social, political and ideological frames and how they are tightly intertwined in contemporary society. Freedom and Poetry, Freedon and Existence and other issues are discussed in a piece of work which is now a part of a major project dealing also with possible evocations between the Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector and the British writer Virginia Woolf.
