| Popis: | These papers aim to study the dimensions of the bachelorism present in Machado’s work. Then, we will use historical method to understand the Bachelor of Laws in Machado’s work, as well as the figure of such bachelor in the 19th century, and its importance for the generation of the Brazilian National State. For such purpose, this latter process is described at first and, after, the formation of the image of the Bachelor of Laws as Brazilian Elite is discussed. Moreover, the archetype of Machado’s bachelor character is analysed, and a link between fiction and the historical context is established, undoing the apolitical trait that was long attributed to Machado de Assis. Furthermore, some of Machado’s characters are studied, confirming the stereotype about the Brazilian Bachelor of Laws. At last, it is concluded that the presence of such figure in Machado’s work, as a member of the social-political-cultural Elite of the Brazilian nation during its first century as a Sovereign State. |
