Abstract

This article examines three novels by Machado de Assis, namely Dom Casmurro, Esaú e Jacó and Memorial de Aires, and aims to relate common, ordinary characters which reflect a changing Brazil to the Faust myth. This intertextual dialogue illustrates a way of looking at the unextraordinary, but still appealing, lives of these characters.
