Although all considered insane the attitude of the man, the word madness never more could be mentioned in its house, the subject was not argued, therefore wild all are considered the ones that run away from the society to make of the solitude the only company.

As Bachelard, ' ' It is dived in the water to renascer renovado' ' in way that the new man obtains to abstain them basic considered material things stop its survival. A renewal to become exempts, to choose the course of the proper life, to choose the moment of if leaving to take route its destination.
