Description

The purpose of this paper is to consider the heretical view in Silence, which is a story based on historical facts. Reading this story, it is important to perceive its multiplex elements. Here, we notice that a minute examination of Ferreira's way of thinking is, in fact, the key to lead us to suspect him to be a Marrano. This suspicion becomes persuasive if he is contrasted with the other apostatizing priest, Rodorigo. Spinoza's Ethica is helpful in explaining and understanding Marranoism of Ferreira as a Jew passing for Catholic.
