A representação literária mais antiga de utopia provavelmente é a história do Jardim do Éden, com Adão e Eva vivendo no Paraíso. Porém, a palavra Utopia foi inventada apenas em 1516 por Sir Thomas More, em seu livro chamado Utopia. O século XX foi um tempo de diversas mudanças sociais, políticas e econômicas na Grã-Betanha. Consequentemente, essas mudanças influenciaram a literatura e deram espaço para um tipo de romance que hoje é conhecido como romance distópico, que surgiu a partir desse contexto sócio histórico e é considerado um jeito moderno de olhar para os romances utópicos. No presente trabalho, analisamos características utópicas e distópicas no livro The Host com o objetivo de promover entendimento sobre como essas energias modelam os dois principais grupos do romance: a sociedade das almas e a sociedade dos humanos vivendo na caverna. Para escrever esse trabalho, utilizamos os métodos bibliográfico e exploratório. 2020-11-11T18:38:35Z 2020-11-11T18:38:35Z 2014-08-19 bachelorThesis MACHADO, Bruna Dias.
