Resumo: The present study aims at an analysis of Olga, by Fernando Morais, observing how a historical character is configured in a biography. The methodological route starts from a survey of conceptions of history, literature, biography and the relations between them established in order to understand the trajectory developed by the author. To do so, we focus on the relationship between History and Literature. Next, we explore the issue of memory, which is closely linked to theories about biography and to the studied work itself, as the author based much of his research on the memories of people who lived with the protagonist at different times. With that, we observe that the praise of the main character is evident, which led us to choose to relate it with the conception of hero, carrying out a brief analysis of this vision in history and in existing theories. Furthermore, we identify the patterns of heroicization used by Campbell's theory (2007), and how the development of Fernando Morais contributes to the confirmation of Olga's heroism, through her choices of text and content. The author, in this way, seeks to bring to life the image of Olga, arrested by the Estado Novo dictatorship, pregnant, deported and ending her life in a Nazi concentration camp , the result of Moraes’ work, reappears in the eyes of the reader as a modern heroine, who goes beyond the role of wife of Luis Carlos Prestes, to take the side of those who, as the text states, “fought for justice, for good and for the best of the world".
