Abstract

The aim of this work is to present reflections on the memory of the protagonist character as a preponderant factor in the representation of individual reality, while it is also built itself collectively. The analyzed literary work was published in 1936, age of the Brazilian literature Classic. Angústia, written by Graciliano Ramos from Alagoas, who refers to the character Luís da Silva, the reflections of everyday life through a memory resulting from various situations and existential conflicts experienced with the other characters while moving from one point to another in the city, contemplating the space, in which the whole scenario for the novel is structured. The question of the representation of the social environment in the referred work was considered and presented and discussed through the analysis of the novel, carried out with the help of critics representing Graciliano Ramos. For the proposal analysis, a qualitative approach was delimited, with the theoretical choices about romance selected from BAKHTIN studies (2010), CANDIDO (2006) and WATT (2010); on the axis of Mimesis, reproduction and passage techniques, memory, polyphonic criticism, we selected a theoretical contribution that concerns to AUERBACH (2015), BENJAMIN (2009), ACHARD (2015), JUNIOR and MEDEIROS (2015), among others. In this way, it is intended to highlight the reflections in transit at first. Then, at second stage of study onwards, the real context was analyzed from the mimetic rewriting in the literature, which takes place at the level of history. Finally, in the following stages, the study of the literary production of the novel in accordance with the techniques of reproduction and polyphonic criticism is revealed, based on the realization of the reflections that comprehend the textual texture, but also aspects common to the realism that permeate them.
