| Abstract | |
Any scholar Machado de Assis's work concludes, after a long examination of the critical fortune that notable duels persisted in trying to establish the best interpretation of Machado's work. But seldom noted the initiative to explore deeply the factors, images, situations that make the impulses and human emotions detected by the author to represent the man in his time. In this sense, our work is concerned with understanding of the criticism with appreciation of two parts: the composition of a narrative ethos and the way human that the emotions are represented in the development of Machado characters before the systematization of Psychoanalysis. We seek theoretical support in recent interpretations in literary criticism and philosophical background studies, not to mention the fact that there is a tradition in the treatment of "social masks" in Machado's fiction inaugurated by Augusto Meyer and well developed by Alfredo Bosi. We revisit the French moralists of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and the modern political thinkers to reflect that Machado produced "moralities" arising from social observation. The author was able to demonstrate subjective configurations that through situations of "composition of emotions" are capable to define the space between what is said (or shown himself) and what is silent (or dissimulates). The Machadian innovations are investigated in this work by Helena analysis (1876), and represent a jump on the romantic romance, the realist and naturalist with characters in situations that bring into play the choices of individuals, their density, their motivations and their impulses, avoiding driving attitudes solely by external forces.
