This research presents an analysis of the presence of mythical folklore elements in Brazilian literature with focus in production of Monteiro Lobarto and Gustavo Rodsseb. The problem question is: How are the mythical folklore elements of Brazilian culture represented and reinterpreted in national literature? Furthermore, to contribute to this line of reasoning, the following question is asked: How are Brazilian mythical folklore elements incorporated into literary works of national literature? What are the main characters or themes of Brazilian folklore that appear most frequently in Brazilian literature? In this regard, the study has the general objective of analyzing the incorporation and representation of Brazilian mythical folklore elements in the country's literature. That said, the specific objective is to: identify the main mythical folklore elements present in Brazilian literature; analyze how these elements are incorporated into national literary works; and also investigate the relationship between the preservation of Brazilian folklore and literary production. The research presents as a theoretical reference relevant studies and documents on the subject, namely: Andrade (1928), Cascudo (1947), Limongi (2002), BNCC (2018), among others. In view of the aforementioned, the research is carried out through a bibliographic study with qualitative analysis research, observing, through surveys and analyses, the researched object. As a hypothesis, the idea is listed here that folklore is continually linked to literature in mythical representations – from children's literature to young adult literature – influencing the construction of a national literary identity.
