Abstract

This paper aims at examining, in the poetry of Carlos Drummond de Andrade stylistic effects achieved with the chosen metaphors, which characterize the eroticism present in O amor natural. It can be stated that the erotic poems have a peculiar lexicon. In this study, we follow the approach of the Lexical Stylistics in order to explain the expressive effect generated by some chosen metaphors. We intend, thus, to consider how the erotic metaphors, created by Carlos Drummond de Andrade are integrated into the literary discourse and differ from popular metaphors that allude to sex.
