Uma análise da figura do herói picaresco e do herói malandro nas obras Lazarilho de Tormes e Memórias de um Sargento de Milícias

Abstract

This work is a bibliographical research whose objective is to analyze the figure of the picaresque hero and the rogue hero represented by the characters Lázaro and Leandro in the works O lazarilho de Tormes and Memórias de um Sargento de Milícias. Both are anti-heroes in comparison to the classical heroes, which will be addressed in this article. These anti-heroes represent a new way of constructing the protagonist, since the proposal of this new figure is to bring more realistic protagonists who are more inserted in the time and culture in which they live and suffer from the inequality prevalent in the cities. For the theoretical basis, the literary corpus will be the work "A saga do anti-herói" by Mário M. González and the article "Dialética da malandragem" by the literary critic Antônio Cândido, which relate the formation of the rogue and the rogue. To bring the narratives closer together, the concepts of hero, anti-hero, laughter, popular culture will be addressed, with the main theoretical reference being Brombert (2004), Bakhtin (1999), among other theorists who address the theme.
