Maratona: Calhamaços - Desafio#5.

[Desafio 5] Vermelho

É a cor do fogo e da paixão, do entusiasmo e dos impulsos.

Nos livros que leste ou estás a ler para a maratona há alguma personagens que encaixe na simbologia desta cor? Qual é essa personagem?

Eu julgo que no "White Teeth" a personagem que melhor se insere na simbologia do vermelho é o protagonista Archie Jones, pois é um homem absolutamente impulsivo, tanto que deixou a decisão de suicidar-se à viragem de uma moeda. Além disso casou-se com uma jovem negra de 19 anos, sendo que ele era 28 anos mais velho, seis semanas depois de a ter conhecido "por acidente".

"Something happened by accident. That accident was Clara Bowden. But first a description: Clara Bowden was beautiful in all senses except maybe, by virtue of being black, the classical. (...) Now, as Archie understood it, in movies and the like it is common for someone to be striking that when they walk down the stairs the crowd goes silent. In life he had never seen it. But it happened with Clara Bowden. And not only was she the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, she was also the most comforting woman he had ever met. (...)
'Cheer up, bwoy', she said in a lilting Caribbean accent that reminded Archie of That Jamaican Cricketer, 'it might never happen'.

'I think it already has'."
