Abstract

The essay intends to enhance the elements of modernity present in the novel Eros by Verga and underline its peculiarities compared to the rest of the author’s so-called “worldly” production, also in relation to the writer’s realist landing. We also focus on the death drive and the attraction that the protagonist develops towards an empty dimension of existence.
