The goal is to report in what way the image of the narrator and of her double personality are built in the narrative through the meeting with the death. On the other side, the analysis seeks to present textual fragments which evidence the centrality given by the narrator to her interior dimension and which sediment the way to regenerate her life from the death. To this end, the principal aspect of this job is substantiated in critical-theoretical contribuctions about the Luft’s literary work, as well as about the death thematic. For this, we appeal for Barroca (2014), Brandão (1986), Campelo (2014), Costa (2020) and De Medeiros Costa (1996), in order to understand how the values and senses given to the protagonists interactional behavior in the narrative development. Also, take the suport of Bakhtin (1987) and in his carnivalization theory, as well as in Ariès (2000) and Marton (2019) and them studies about the man and the mortality figure, to give prominence to the regenerator character of the death in luftiana’s artwork. Furthermore, it is based on Rodrigues (2020), Candido (2004) Silva and Wanderley (2014) and Medeiros and Teixeira (2021), to compare the studied romance with the “Pasárgada” and “Consoada” poems, written by Manuel Bandeira, taking into account the inherent elements to the life and death thematic into the writings, confirming the dialogical aspect of the brazilian literature. Then, the work observes the ambivalent relationship of interdependence between the life and the death in A Casa Inventada, where the death is the source of human vitality to the Luft narrator existence.
