Resumo: This work aims to analyze the aesthetic reaction in Relato de um certo Oriente, i.e., seeks to understand the emotional effect to which the reader is directed during the reading of this literary work. According to Vygotsky (1999), the aesthetic reaction takes place in the contradiction of internal emotions that develop up to the culmination point, in which the two opposite feelings merge into a short-circuit. In this sense, based on the objectively-analytical method, a thorough reading of the work was undertaken, observing which facts were taken by the author to compose the fable work, as well as analyzing the way the facts were presented in the timeline, in other words, the plot, in order to understand how the contradictory emotional levels were organized and to which aesthetic reaction the reader is directed. For this, after the systematization of data of the work and the functional analysis of the fable and the plot, it was noticed the coexistence of two contradictory plans: the plan of meeting with Emilie, marked by the willingness of the unnamed narrator to meet the foster mother, and the plan of the mismatch with Emilie, marked by the successive postponements and delays of the narration of this fact. Still, it was realized that each of the plans is associated with a state of mind that corresponds to the unnamed narrator, i.e., the plan of the meeting is associated with innocence/acquittal of the narrator’s guilt and failure for the impossibility of the meeting. In the face of this contradiction, the work keeps the reader’s tension high and continuous rising to the point where all possibilities of the physical meeting are over, and the unnamed narrator remembers the call, giving Emilie one last attempt to find her. Thus, the narrator fuses the two contradictory plans, both the feeling of guilt and the innocence come to be experienced by the reader in a complex discharge of psychic energy, called short-circuitor aesthetic reaction. Therefore, the aesthetic reaction in Relato de um certo Orienteconsists in maintain the emotional contradiction through the plan of the meeting and the mismatch, to the culmination point in which the unnamed narrator takes up the occurrence of a “certain” meeting, and thus, in the same extent the reader begins to feel something that is not only guilt or just innocence but a paradoxical manifestation of both feelings. In this sense, it can be said that these feelings reverberate in the psychic experience of the reader establishing relationships with his/her guilt and innocence as responses to the literary statement.
