Abstract

The presente work seeks to compare from the relations narrator/husband and character/wife and children in the works “Dom Casmurro”, Machado de Assis and “São Bernardo” by Graciliano Ramos. The research was developed from the readings of the novels by ASSIS, Machado de. (1899); RAMOS, Graciliano (1934); in relation to the field of comparative literature, we use as theoretical basis, NITRINI Sandra (1997) and COUTINHO Eduardo (2003). Initially, a study was carried out based on the book “The culture of the novel”, by MORETTI, Franco (2009), then we highlight in the two novels, all categories for analysis, so the focus of this point of analysis in the thematic of jealousy, which is centered on the main characters of the works, such as Bentinho and Paulo Honório. The results show that in the 19th and 20th centuries, there were already great Brazilian authors, describing in their works, familiar questions, about power and about machismo.
