Abstract

This is a narrative review carried out in the first half of 2020. It aims to describe the notion of desire based on Lacanian and Freudian theory, and with the symbolic aid of a literary text with a similar perspective. This work presents the following topics: the enigma of the notion of desire, theoretical delimitation, psychoanalytical definition, link between literature and psychoanalysis and literary illustration. From this path, it was found that the psychoanalytic definition of desire, which differs from that of common and philosophical senses, finds correspondence in a poem by the Brazilian symbolist writer Camilo Pessanha.
