THE REPRESENTATION OF PERSON IN JESUS’ PARABLE “THE GOOD SAMARITAN”

The research presented in this paper aims to analyze the representation in the Jesus’ parable The Good Samaritan, specifically, their persons, questioning the character “amimético”/mimetic that narrative category. With brief descriptions of the person of Sophocles' tragedy - Oedipus, the survey highlights the main features of the narratives Greek and Judeo-Christian, to submit their respective characters based on assumptions about mimesis and metaphor. The study indicates an eminently bibliographic research, based on the poetics of Aristotle (1973), assumptions about mimesis, metaphor and parable, studies guided by Costa (1992), Le Guern (1976), Lockyer (2006), Lopes (1987), Sant'anna (2010) and Spina (1967). The survey allowed the perception of speech introduced by literary art, through the representation, so that the parable study demonstrates that the author used a narrative language appropriate to his interlocutors, with daily themes, and therefore constructed a strategy to achieve their educational goals. This art of narrating stories also indicates knowledge moral, philosophical or religious, but this is, in general, unveiled by the representation of social types. In the parable analyzed, the character “metaphored” the moral sense that the narrator pointed, confronting concepts that your listener defended, showing him his "mistake" in the interpretation of Jewish Moral Law.
