C\u00e2nd am \u00eent\u00e2lnit-o pentru prima oar\u0103 pe Rodica Bretin, se vorbea despre realismul magic. Citisem c\u00e2teva povestiri ale autoarei, dar m\u0103 rezumasem la a le trece prin filtrul propriu \u0219i a decide dac\u0103-mi pl\u0103cuser\u0103 sau nu. Evident, a doua posibilitate era exclus\u0103, pentru c\u0103 fiecare proz\u0103, indiferent de \u00eentindere, are un nucleu extrem de concentrat \u00een jurul c\u0103ruia graviteaz\u0103 idei numai bune de l\u0103sat cititorul pe g\u00e2nduri. Orice lume, cunoscut\u0103 nou\u0103 ori imaginat\u0103, e prezentat\u0103 la un anumit moment, populat\u0103 de fiin\u021be aidoma nou\u0103 ori legendare. Personajele au propriile conflicte interioare sau sunt angrenate \u00een altele de amploare, iubesc, tr\u0103deaz\u0103, lupt\u0103 p\u00e2n\u0103 la epuizare, caut\u0103 cu orice pre\u021b. \u00ce\u0219i caut\u0103 realitatea, magia sau modul \u00een care acestea interfereaz\u0103. Vor s\u0103-\u0219i explice, s\u0103 \u00een\u021beleag\u0103 \u0219i s\u0103 se \u00een\u021beleag\u0103.<\/p>\n
La a doua \u00eent\u00e2lnire, aproape un an mai t\u00e2rziu, am descoperit omul-autor. Abia atunci am citit \u201cFecioara de fier\u201d, un roman pe care l-am considerat psihologic, poate \u0219i datorit\u0103 nar\u0103rii la persoana \u00eent\u00e2i, modului de asamblare a povestirilor care aduceau cele patru personaje, pe r\u00e2nd, \u00een lumina reflectoarelor, sau le \u00eempingeau \u00een spatele cortinei.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
La finalul c\u0103r\u021bilor bune, r\u0103m\u00e2n cu senza\u021bii. Dup\u0103 lectura\u00a0 \u201cFecioarei\u201d m-am g\u00e2ndit tot mai des c\u0103, de fapt, citisem despre manifestarea unei zeit\u0103\u021bi feminine, prins\u0103 la r\u00e2ndul ei \u00een conflictul cu alte personaje de legend\u0103. Astfel, \u00een perioada Inchizi\u021biei, entitatea \u00ee\u0219i \u00eentrege\u0219te personalitatea, aduc\u00e2ndu-le \u00eempreun\u0103 pe bruneta Isabeau, blonda Fleur \u0219i ro\u0219cata Ana\u00efs. Primele dou\u0103 – p\u0103m\u00e2ntence, a treia \u2013 unica supravie\u021buitoare a Atlantidei, cu firi \u0219i personalit\u0103\u021bi diferite, nu fac dec\u00e2t s\u0103-\u0219i urmeze instinctele \u0219i, concentr\u00e2ndu-\u0219i for\u021bele, s\u0103 dea via\u021b\u0103 unor visuri venite de dincolo de grani\u021bele lumii \u0219tiute.<\/p>\n

C\u00e2nd proza Rodic\u0103i Bretin are \u00een centru un personaj feminin, ea nu descrie vreun soi de societate matriarhal\u0103, ci analizeaz\u0103 dorin\u021bele, c\u0103ut\u0103rile protagonistei, uneori din perspective duble: una l\u0103untric\u0103, una \u00een contact direct cu cei ale c\u0103ror vie\u021bi le influen\u021beaz\u0103.<\/p>\n
Shaba, din povestirea cu acela\u0219i nume, e o creatur\u0103 ce supune locuitorii unei a\u0219ez\u0103ri, transform\u00e2ndu-i \u00een sclavi. Le fur\u0103 sentimentele, ra\u021biunea, d\u00e2ndu-le o singur\u0103 sarcin\u0103: s\u0103-i construiasc\u0103 cuiburi pentru ou\u0103le sale. Naratorul, un b\u0103rbat f\u0103r\u0103 nume, universal prin anonimatul s\u0103u, reu\u0219ise s\u0103 scape de domina\u021bia entit\u0103\u021bii. Asist\u0103 neputincios la truda semenilor \u0219i recunoa\u0219te printer ei femeia iubit\u0103, adus\u0103 la acela\u0219i grad de dezumanizare precum restul muritorilor. B\u0103rbatul \u00eencearc\u0103 s-o salveze, are un moment de perplexitate c\u00e2nd sper\u0103 c\u0103 poate \u00eenvinge R\u0103ul, \u00eens\u0103 e \u00eenfr\u00e2nt chiar de cea pentru care-\u0219i riscase via\u021ba. Vede, \u0219i d\u0103 de \u00een\u021beles \u0219i cititorului, rostul cuiburilor \u0219i ou\u0103lor: din ele nu avea s\u0103 ias\u0103 vreodat\u0103 altceva dec\u00e2t energie care s\u0103-i conduc\u0103 supu\u0219ii. Shaba cea f\u0103r\u0103 chip nu avea dec\u00e2t un singur fel de pui: oamenii c\u0103rora le anihilase sim\u021birea.<\/p>\n
Astfel, \u201cShaba\u201d r\u0103m\u00e2ne descrierea unui fulger de gen feminin, a unei desc\u0103rc\u0103ri brutale de energie. Confruntarea dintre b\u0103rbatul f\u0103r\u0103 nume \u0219i monstrul f\u0103r\u0103 chip e o alternativ\u0103 a conflictului yin-yang.<\/p>\n

Dac\u0103 \u00een proza de mai sus entitatea feminin\u0103 e \u00eenving\u0103toare, \u00een \u201cCasa f\u0103r\u0103 c\u0103r\u021bi\u201d protagonista-naratoare devine victima unui personaj malefic, descriindu-\u0219i \u00een am\u0103nunt sacrificiul pe altarul vorbelor scrise. O t\u00e2n\u0103r\u0103 scriitoare alege s\u0103-\u0219i definitiveze opera \u00eentr-o cas\u0103 auster\u0103, de\u021binut\u0103 \/ posedat\u0103 de un b\u0103tr\u00e2n posac. Acesta o m\u0103soar\u0103 \u00eendelung, precum pr\u0103d\u0103torul care-\u0219i evalueaz\u0103 prada. \u00cen cele din urm\u0103 o accept\u0103, t\u00e2rgul \u00eenchirierii f\u0103c\u00e2ndu-se altfel dec\u00e2t suntem obi\u0219nui\u021bi: gazda alege chiria\u0219ul, nu invers. De-a lungul a c\u00e2torva luni, fata descoper\u0103 c\u0103 \u00een cas\u0103 nu exist\u0103 nici m\u0103car o carte. Descoper\u0103, \u00een schimb, la subsol, o cale de a p\u0103trunde \u00eentr-o lume subacvatic\u0103, plin\u0103 de volume ascunse ochilor. Apoi, propria curiozitate, sau destinul \u00eensu\u0219i, o transform\u0103 \u00eentr-o ofrand\u0103, trupul contopindu-i-se cu al c\u0103l\u0103ului doar at\u00e2t c\u00e2t s-o ajute s\u0103 treac\u0103 pragul unei alte lumi.<\/p>\n
Ideea de sacrificiu apare la final, suger\u00e2nd atitudinea matern\u0103: femeia vede o feti\u021b\u0103 citindu-i povestea. E ilustrat\u0103, astfel, o alt\u0103 latur\u0103 a personalit\u0103\u021bii feminine, cea a minimaliz\u0103rii propriilor nevoi, a accept\u0103rii destinului pentru un scop mult peste cunoa\u0219terea omeneasc\u0103 .<\/p>\n
\u201cB\u0103tr\u00e2na doamn\u0103\u201d nu e nici pe departe vreo cucoan\u0103 distins\u0103, retras\u0103 \u00een singur\u0103tatea unei case impun\u0103toare. E duhul unei ma\u0219ini g\u0103zduite de un atelier auto.

Una e nev\u0103zut\u0103, prizonier\u0103 \u00eentr-o carcas\u0103 metalic\u0103, \u00eens\u0103 st\u0103p\u00e2n\u0103 pe situa\u021bie \u0219i pe spa\u021biul asupra c\u0103ruia vegheaz\u0103.

Cealalt\u0103 \u00eencheie \u00eentr-un mod dramatic o carier\u0103 artistic\u0103, devenind prizoniera unui spirit s\u0103lbatic.<\/p>\n
