Creative characteristics
Pessoa follows the traditional poetic rhythm, likes short sentences, pays attention to the sense of rhythm and pursues the sense of music. As a lyric poet, he pays attention to rhythm, pursues the harmony and perfection of poetry content and form, and his works are full of musical sense. The most remarkable thing about these aliases played by Pessoa is that although their works are the same in content, at least some of them are different in content and style, and everyone's style conforms to their own theories. The poet insists that these aliases are real people and their works are coherent. Divide a poet into several poets, express different voices in the poet's heart through different pen names, and each pen name has its own system, thus creating a variety of poems. Pessoa never pretends to be conceited, dares to analyze himself, and is very concerned about the reality and destiny of the motherland. However, for him, history is more distant because of reality, and reality is darker because of history. As the opposite of the dark society, he is doomed to be lonely. He was depressed all his life and never got rid of the pain of pessimism and despair. Loneliness and melancholy run through most of his poems.
Personality assessment
Pessoa is an amazing Portuguese poet who surpasses all Borges' works in fantasy creation. (American literary critic harold bloom's comments on Western Canon)
Fei Nandu Pessoa should be compared with the great artists of the 1980s from 65438 to 2009, such as Stravinsky, Picasso, Joyce, Braque, Hlebnikov and Le Gobier, because Feynman Pessoa combined the characteristics of these artists. (Comment by Russian linguist roman jakobson)
The reader becomes Pessoa's captive in spirit, at a deeper level, because philosophy can't fully understand his modernity. Therefore, when reading, readers find that they can't escape from the poet's palm, and they receive an order from his works, but they don't know what to do, that is, to follow the road between Plato and anti-Plato and move forward in the space opened up by the poet for readers. This is a pluralistic, empty and infinite philosophy. This philosophy will bring the world good news that the gods have never abandoned. (Commentary by French thinker Alain Badiou)
