Abstract

Abstract: The article aims to mobilize the interarts as an educational tool through the moral admiration of aging characters. To do so, based on Linda Zagzebki’s moral exemplarism, the novel Lettuce Nights, by Vanessa Barbara, and its homonym adapted for the cinema, were analyzed. Through the protagonists Ada and Otto, a problematization of the relations between admiration and prudence is carried out, conferring on old age a status of moral referentiality that points to directions in the attainment of one's own paths in contemporaneity.

Keywords: Admiration. Oldness. Interarts. Lettuce Nights.
