Abstract
This study aims at analyzing, comparatively, in the novel Tonka (1924) – by the Austrian writer Robert Musil – and in the short story Desenredo (1967) – by the Brazilian writer Joao Guimaraes Rosa – how these authors deal with the relation among love, jealousy, suspiciousness and possession, and how in the novel by Musil, love is source of perdition, while, in the short story by Guimares Rosa – love is both, source of pain and salvation as well. It will also consider the comparison of the quarrelsome relationship man versus woman, also appearing in the song Tororo, by Chico Buarque.
