Resumo: This study investigates the symbols present in two tales from Edgar Allan Poe’s book Histórias extraordinárias (2010), and how they signal the mechanism of escape from death, as well as the fear of the passage of time. The tales The Mask of Death Red and The Pit and the Pendulum, which transmit the proposed theme in a rich and clear way, were chosen for the realization of this research. The situations and characters of the stories help us to better understand the theme of death and how it is developed in the individual and social imaginary, being always subject to additions of new symbols given that the imaginary is not alien to its surroundings and its updates. In this sense, this study sheds light on how literature makes it possible to overcome images of reality, amplifying singular and subjective perceptions, creating new senses and amplifying the real. As a theoretical basis, the studies of Gilbert Durand (2012) and his theory of the imaginary will be called, especially his concept of daytime image regime. In addition to studies on symbolic and death in authors such as Jean Delumeau (2009), Jean Chevalier (2001), Philippe Aries (2000) among others.
