Negative forms underlie Cass’s growing awareness of disappointment and hopelessness, denying the “loves” ironically mentioned in the title. Only the alternative imaginary recreation of her own life – her “rhapsody” - is significantly marked by the absence of negative forms. The language of denial is thus both subject and object in the play. 2010 artículo científico 2175-8026 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=478348696003 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4783 Ilha do Desterro: A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies application/pdf Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina Ilha do Desterro: A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies (Brasil) Num.58
