An old man recalls marrying the neighbour girl he loved from boyhood, and the jealousy that grew when their son was born wearing his best friend's face. He never proves his wife's betrayal, but convicts her and lives out the verdict alone.

Eyes like the tide? Yes, like the tide. That's what they were.
Dom Casmurro, Machado de Assis
