When analyzing the characteristics of the literary movements Classicism and Baroque, it is possible to notice striking differences regarding the language, the themes addressed, and the aesthetic values present in the works. Considering the characteristics of these two movements, read the following excerpt of a poem:

It is stated that the Baroque man, living in a state of tension and imbalance, seeks compensation through the exaggerated cult of form. In Gregório de Matos's sonnet, this characteristic can be perceived by the use of

The correct answer is the alternative that mentions the use of figures of speech, such as antithesis, in Gregório de Matos's sonnet. Antithesis is a figure of speech that consists of bringing together words or expressions of opposite meanings, creating a contrast. In the Baroque period, figures of speech were widely used to express the tension and imbalance characteristic of that period. The other alternatives are not correct because they do not directly address the relationship between compensation through the exaggerated cult of form and the tension and imbalance of the Baroque man.

the lyrical self describes its perceptions of the world as it feels them.

Indicate the alternative whose characteristic and/or reference applies to the poem It's me, by Álvaro de Campos.

To answer this question, it is necessary to analyze the poem 'It's me', by Álvaro de Campos, one of Fernando Pessoa's heteronyms. The poem does not have a fixed metric structure, like a sonnet, and does not present perfect rhymes, ruling out options a and e. The theme of the poem is not related to the valorization of Greco-Roman culture or the countryside, ruling out options c and d. The correct alternative is the one that states that the lyrical self describes its perceptions of the world as it feels them, as the poem is a subjective expression of the lyrical self, describing its emotions and perceptions of the world.

During the European Renaissance, artistic and literary movements emerged that transformed the way of thinking and creating at the time. Among these movements, Classicism and Baroque stand out. Based on the importance of these two artistic movements, explain their main characteristics, point out the main differences between them, and how these artistic expressions contributed to the development of thought and aesthetics in society at the time.

When examining the history of art and literature, we will see that it is built in cycles, that is, the new often is nothing more than something older, just dressed in a different language. Parnasianism in Brazil, which emerged in the 1880s, illustrates this process well. According to text 3, some characteristics of form and content can be highlighted to justify its insertion in that literary aesthetic, except for:

Parnasianism, a Brazilian literary movement of the 19th century, valued form and aesthetics, seeking inspiration from Greco-Roman culture and the classics. Its main characteristics were objectivity, impersonality, the valorization of art for art's sake, and formal structure, especially the sonnet. The alternative that does not fit in Parnasianism is lexical preciousness, as this movement was not so concerned with lexical richness, but rather with objectivity and clarity in expression.
