This study starts from the hypothesis that Gautier’s choices in working with a female vampire in love, a sexually repressed priest and his double, and na abbot as a moral compass, reveal a critique of Bourgeois Christian morality in vohe in 19th-century France. To this goal, this study uses Piglia’s theory of the short story (2004), which argues that the short story has a second story hidden within the first, which is Only revealed at the end of the narrative. In accordance with the monster studies, with contributions from Cohen (2000), Musharbash (2004), Asma (2009), and especially Mittman’s (2012) anthropophagic perspective, this work is structured around the central characters of the story and the themes relevant to each of them. First, Clarimonde is analyzed in light of the vision that the Catholic Church and 19th-century French bourgeois society expected of women, based on discussions about the Church and women, notably Eve and Mary Magdalene, by Duby (2013), the demonization of women, according to Delumeau (2009), and the role of women in post-French Revolution France from the perspective of Michelle Perrot (2009), and how this affects her vampiric aspects. Next, Romuald is examined as a character and narrator, discussing the role of memory in judging the young priest's actions, as well as his condition as a double, divided between the Christian morality represented by Sérapion and the freedom associated with Clarimonde, based on the reflections of Santos (2009) and Rosset (2008), and sexual issues based on Bataille (1987) and psychoanalytic literary analysis. Finally, Abbot Sérapion is discussed as a demon, and his relationship with the Christian morality discussed by Vainfas (1986). Throughout the research, studies on vampires by Lecouteux (2003), Braga (2020) and Melton (2003) are discussed. It is conclued that the second story hidden in the Thépohlie Gautier’s short story is na ironic commentary by Gautier, who uses three monstrous figures to point out the false moralism of the French burgeoisie and ties this criticismo by making Romuald, the protagonist, exchange his own happines for the path of Christian morality.

An analysis of the hero construction is proposed through the discussion about the formulation of the heroic past and its actions in the epic, which ended up being received by Rosa's heroes. However, we note that the mentioned authors reflected, through their respective works, befitting aspects with their warriors in battles, their moral conduct, the use of weapons in conflicts, and the search for undying glory. Nevertheless, we found that each work is unique and its composition process is particular, we also recognize similar aspects, according to the Comparative Literature guidelines, hence the observance in heroes such as Achilles, Hector, and Paris, with the characteristics that are close to Diadorim, Riobaldo, and Hermógenes. Although, we will approach the themes of revenge and courage, dialoguing both with past heroes and also with the heroes of contemporaneity.

In the case of the tragedy Prometheus Bound, the figure of this foreigner appears in the evocation of spaces that are non-Greek, characterized in opposition to Greek spaces, also present throughout the play. With this in mind, the primary objective of this work is to present how the representation of these places happens, and how this representation is configured within the context in which it was presented, without leaving aside, of course, the strong relationship between the tragedy, the myth and society of the time. This analysis will be carried out from a narratological perspective linked to a philosophical bias and a theatrical bias on notions of space, in addition to the concept of the rhetoric of otherness, established by François Hartog. At the end of the research, many aspects were found regarding this relationship that is present in the representation of Greek and foreign places within the play, one of them being the fact that the use of foreign figures made by Aeschylus has the intention much more of defining the Greek society itself than other societies.

Thus, unable to explore and use her many skills, beyond the life of a housewife, married woman and mother, Eurídice loses herself in an invisibility that reveals the patriarchal society of the golden years around the middle of the 20th century. The author, in a letter addressed to readers at the beginning of the book, expresses her intention to tell “the story of our grandmothers”, which can be understood as the life of women within a patriarchal system in the aforementioned period. Based on Batalha's work, a film directed by Karim Aïnouz with a similar title was released in 2019. Unlike the book, however, the film redistributes the narrative focus between the lives of Eurídice Gusmão and her sister Guida Gusmão, making the plot a drama about two women who continually search for each other throughout their lives. Despite having shared the same house and the same family as Eurídice in her early years, Guida finds herself in a much less comfortable situation from a structural and financial point of view, having to deal with the consequences of her choices throughout her life. This work proposed to comparatively analyze the representation of the invisibility of 20th century women in two works. Thus, we sought to analyze how the film translation alters this representation proposed by Batalha, with regard not only to the traditional white middle-class family model, but also to other women in situations of marginalization and discrimination, given the standards of the time. To this end, theoretical foundations from Translation Studies were used, mainly through Stam (2008), Cattrysse (1992), historical studies on women's lives in the golden years through Pinsky (2004), in addition to studies on cinema by Martin (1995) and on the representation of characters based on archetypes by Mark and Pearson (2003). The results showed that the film adaptation expands the diversity in the representation of the invisibility of women in the golden years in Brazilian society through the following resources: 1. the focus on key female characters, excluding many other stories presented in the novel and, in a certain way, subordinating the presence of male characters around women; 2. a contrast between two main axes, Eurídice and Guida, one within the pattern predicted and valued by social expectations and the other outside of it. Thus, the director of the film translation deepens the stories of the main characters and eliminates the story presented in the novel.
