Considerando a importância de se analisar as peculiaridades das linguagens envolvidas e como se relacionam na construção dos significados da obra em estudo, investigamos como Caruso, utilizando técnicas que incluem o esgrafiado, representou os símbolos da morte, do sangue, do espelho e do vermelho, que interagem no conto para conferir-lhe um caráter gótico. Abstract This paper focuses on the analysis of imagetic depictions made by the illustrator Santiago Caruso based on The Bloody Countess’ gothic symbols, written by Alejandra Pizarnik. It inquires how Caruso has depicted, using techniques that includes graffito, the symbols of death, blood, mirror and redness that interact to give the tale its gothic aspect, by considering important peculiarities of the language involved and how they relate to each other in the meaning construction of the artwork here studied.
