This thesis aims to analyze the presence of tragedy as an essential element in the novels Opera of the Dead and The Bells of Agony, Autran Dourado. To do so, theoretical tools of comparative bias and the deductive method of literary analysis are used. Initially, it was sought to understand the assumptions of comparative literature, supported, among other theorists, in Mikhail Bakhtin, Gerard Genette and Julia Kristeva, whose teachings - in general reference - are based on the variables of the comparative studies. In a second step it was tried to capture the sense of Attic Tragedy and the tragic in light of the classic teachings of Aristotle and modern authors, such as Nietzsche, Goethe, Vernant and Pierre Vidal-Naquet, Albin Lesky, Pierre Brunel, Northrop Frye, Mircea Eliade, Paul Harvey and Junito Souza Brandão.s teachings. In the novels of Autran Dourado, it was focused on the aspects which best shape the tragic sense, sometimes reformulated for the characterization of characters built from the Greek archetypes, sometimes identifiable in textual elements which make the romance/tragedy dialogue more latent, such as constant interferences of the narrator/chorus, the regional space characterized on the tragic scene stage, the presence of fatum as an element that drives the gearing which leads to the tragic outcome. By being Opera of the Dead and The bells of agony contemporary novels, it is highlighted in them not only the elements containing classical influence, but also the elements of rupture through author peculiar speech, like parodying character of the narrative and the labyrinthine form by which scenarios are developed. Through the reinterpretation of the myths proposed by Dourado, it is possible to prove that the fundamental themes pervade the history of literature: the presumed rupture with old models constitutes, in fact, a perennial provocative element of innovation in literary art, justifying a constant recurrence to the classical assumptions. Results of this research work one more contribution to the critical fortunes of Autran Dourado, proving that the novelist re-presenting the tragic and, again, gives universality and timelessness of tragedy, with undeniable originality and art.
