N2  - This article proposes a reading of Edgar Allan Poe?s Oval Portrait according to the
principle of ?transgression?, which contributes to the uncanny effect of the story. The author
argues that in The Oval Portrait opposite realities (the past and the present, facts and fiction,
the real world and the world of dreams, life and death, art and reality) interrelate in a way
that shows it is very difficult to draw a line between them. Using contemporary methodologies (Derrida, Baudrillard), the author interprets the tale as a ?story about a story?, in which
the reality is incomprehensible and thus impossible to be imitated by art. Instead, it can be
described by means of interpretation. In order to do so, one needs to ?imprison? and ?isolate?
it, but also ?seclude? oneself from it, leave it to its own devices, and even forget about it. Art,
therefore, ?reconstructs? reality, creating an analogical world, but, paradoxically ? the reality
this world draws upon is no longer there.
