Abstract This article investigates how the dialogue between Machado de Assis’s Resurrection and the theme of quasi resurrection in Shakespeare's Measure for Measure is key to understanding the humor in the title of Machado's book published in 1872 and of the frustrating ending for the protagonists, as well as the arrangement of the constellation of characters. We observe that Resurrection developed intertextuality and irony concerning not only the narrative patterns of nineteenth century romantic prose, but also the rhetoric of the characters and the theme of Shakespearean resurrection.
