[Perverse discourse].

Abstract

The authors have wanted to study the structure and the characteristics peculiar to the perverse speech, on beauty, enjoyment, claiming to be a knowledge on the other one. We have tried to mark the crucial elements of this speech in the portrait of Dorian Gray (Oscar Wilde) and in Othello (Shakespeare) in which the perverse's activity of staging is particularly explicit and contributes to substitute a reality for another one.

Greek and Roman publications reported heavy snoring and breathing pauses as diseases that impaired social life. In our day, popular comic strip figures like "Obelix" remind us that the mysterious noise of heavy snoring has been nerve-racking to people since ancient times.
