The Nurse

In this disturbing short story by Machado de Assis, a nurse hired to care for a sick man recounts his experience with a mixture of coldness and confession. As he describes his intimate and tense relationship with the patient, the narrator reveals the limits of morality, patience, and conscience itself. A scathing portrait of the human soul, marked by irony, ambiguity, and growing discomfort.
