Resumo

Paradise, the seventh novel of the renowned writer Toni Morrison, first published in 1998, brings in all its extension a tapestry connection with the Biblical language and with the religious customs that permeated the black North-American countryside society between the 1920’s and the early 1980’s. By a critical and analytical reading of Paradise, intertextual from its title, Mikhail Bakhtin’s assumption that the literary language (…) becomes plurilingual as it is not a language, but a dialogue of languages is assured. Therefore, based on religious issues that vary from Biblical quotations to manner rules deeply rooted to the clerical one, the Nobel Prize winner’s novel becomes a masterpiece of intense reflection about what that reality described, a reality that rises from the pulsing influence of the religion in its formation.
