Análise do narrador Machadiano: Transição e instauração do grande Machado de Helena a memórias póstumas de Brás Cubas

Abstract

There are many studies and speculations about Machado's compositional style, and this work draws on analyses of two of the writer's renowned works, Helena (1876) and Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas (1881), both written in different periods but with the author's bold and peculiar traits. This work is based primarily on Augusto Meyer (1902–1970) with his work De Machadinho a Brás Cubas (2006), and uses other theorists to demonstrate the author's compositional tone, such as Alfredo Bosi (1936–2021), Antonio Candido (1918–2017), and Lucia Miguel Pereira (1901–1959). In this way, it seeks to demonstrate that the features in Machado's writing remain in a personal linearity, and that there was no sudden change that could distinguish or divide his mode of composition, allowing only the understanding of an adaptation to the period and the reader.
