Os dois em um: os elos entre as personagens Félix e Bento Santiago

Abstract

This research proposes an analysis between the Resurrection and Dom Casmurro novels, comparing, respectively, the characters Felix and Bento Santiago in order to seek the similarities between the two. For the preparation of this work, it assumes that there is a certain analogy with Felix in Bento Santiago, which is the representation of an improvement from the first. From this observation, the goal becomes a structural analysis using the method of literature about the novels and written theories on the subject of both characters. The analysis is justified by the similarities and try to seek a possible theory that would be the same character developed by Machado, using as a theoretical framework, especially the considerations of Helen Caldewell, John Gledson and Alfredo Bosi. Such students of Machado's work and some more useful to understand the similarities and links thus making the two characters seem one in their psychological behaviour.
