Abstract
In this text an interpretative analysis is made of the novel of Mário Cláudio The photographer and the girl, starting from the several poetic symbols used by the writer to express the interdict. We demonstrate how the dualistic and dissimulating nature of the poetic symbol attenuates shock and mitigates obscenity, forcing the reader simultaneously to a de-automation of the ethical judgment, forcing him to widen his field of analysis and interpretation, opening his eyes to new perspectives. We also emphasize how Mario Cláudio manages to question and upset the sacred and standardized ethical and cultural standards of the society in which he is inserted.
