RESUMO
This thesis seeks to make conections, not a comparison, between Machado de Assis, Oswald de Andrade and Paulo Emilio Salles Gomes, through a specific thematic focus, that refers to the three writers interventions in the historical and literary process of the construction and destruction of an image of the Brazilian ruling class. The thesis contains analyses of Dona Fernanda and of the narrator of Quincas Borba as fictional beings in which Machado crystallized a Weltanschauung of this class and its literary adherents; João Miramar and the protagonist of Três mulheres de três pppês are taken as explicit and opposite doubles of Oswald and Paulo Emilio; the public expectations that the two fictionists carry as the rebellious offspring of the haute bourgeoisie are purged and from the remains the characters are constructed. In Um homem sem profissão and in Cemitério, the intellectual of divided conscience becomes a carrier of hope in a world different from the one narrated. The critical work is guided by the search for the nervous point in which ideological demystification and literary creation meet.
