Abstract:
This Course Conclusion Paper aims to analyze the force which was located in the
silence of the female voice in the characters from the work Fogo Morto by Jose Lins
do Rego, as well as the tragic progression of the three families who spend themselves
through price of their patriarchs who decay but they do not realize that decline. Sinha,
Amelia and Adriana are women who suffer themselves quiet and they find a way to
show the real context that involves their families through the internal monologues. In
the theory, we discuss about the narrative communication and its types of narrator,
focalization and the historical journey by which the definition of character has been
argued over the years; we also observe about the patriarchate and feminism, as well
as the female characters by the narrative in Fogo Morto through Gomes’ perspective
(1981). The theoretical research was developed according to Reis e Lopes (1988),
Reuter (2002), Friedman (2002), Candido (2009), Brait (1999), Gomes (1981), Fraga
(2013), Sousa (2011) and Azevedo (2017). The novel focuses on three men who
belong to the distinctive social classes and, however, they suffer themselves with the
conflicts very similar and they are destroyed by their own ego, taking with them the
families.
