Abstract

Bases in the essay “Dialetica da Malandragem – caracterizacao das Memorias de um Sargento de Milicias” of Antonio Candido and his definition of the trickster figure, this article aims to make an analysis of the characters of Guimaraes Rosa and Ariano Suassuna respectively Lalino Salathiel and Joao Gilo as prototypes of the Brazilian trickster. In order to do so, we will analyze both their paths in their narratives, as well as demonstrate that their connections to the classic picaresque novel and the commedia dell'arte are just references.
