Suicide, Writers, Literature,Abstract
This article pursues the objective to initiate a debate on the concerns regarding the death of literature writers and their characters. Avoiding the temptation to impregnate the role of theoretical arguments on the various causes of suicide in a person, despite the presence of common factors, here it aims to recognize the existence of particular and specific reasons in each suicide. While countless treaties and literary works have been written on suicide, those follow religious, philosophical, socio-anthropological, economic, medical and psychiatric and genetic approaches. Thus, without claiming to exhaust the subject, rather than closing with concluding thoughts, some questions are formulated to continue the reflection on the phenomenon of suicide.
