O engajamento, contudo, algumas vezes, prejudica esteticamente a escrita, reduzindo a obra ao seu aspecto panfletário. O presente estudo empenhou-se em analisar o conto “De forno a forno” presente no livro “Contos de Pedro” do escritor Rubens Figueiredo, com a intenção de enfatizar a criatividade que perspectiva o leitor a pensar o mundo que o rodeia.
