Os deslocamentos do narrador machadiano em Quincas Borba

Abstract

This study aims to discuss the narrator Machado de Assis, specifically the one of the novel Quincas Borba. The purpose of this work is to map the movements of this narrator, seeking specificities that sometimes makes the author closer and sometimes makes him apart from other narrators created by Machado de Assis. Thereafter, the aim is to describe some procedures of the narrator: on the one hand, from the relations established with the characters, of the other part, those established with the reader. Among these procedures, we ll show the use of irony and free indirect speech, enabling a pluralization of voices and increasing opportunities for readings and meanings
