Resumo: The present research aims to investigate the novel Myra, by Maria Velho da Costa, releasead in Portugal in 2008. Its objectives are: fathom the construction of the character and reflect on the subversion of the folktale, metafiction and alterity procedures constitutive of the narrative. To achieve these goals, we are guided by the following problematization: How does the novel Myra operate the construction of the protagonist? and to what point are procedures of textual construction made in order to subvert traditional techniques of the narrative? Subversion of the folktale, metafiction, alterity are processes of narrative construction that promote a new configuration to the character Myra, entaling a new realism aspect to Maria Velho da Costa’s novel. The theoretical framework is supported, amongst others, on Propp’s proppositions about the folktale and on the conceptions of metafiction by Linda Hutcheon and Gustavo Bernardo. The work draws on the studies of parody also by Linda Hutcheon e Patricia Waugh, and on identity, based on Bauman’s studies. Zooliterature is discussed using the studies Maria Ester Maciel, and alterity, on the conceptions by Paul Ricoeur. Myra is considered a combative work, of apparent folktale story, crossed by the tragic, which interrelate the social and the aesthetic, interrogating the view of the characters and of the reader about the world
