This work aims to analyze three fantastic works - La cour d'Artus (1816) and La leçon de violon (1819), by E. T. A. Hoffmann (1776-1822), and Le chef-d'oeuvre inconnu (1831), by Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) - to confirm the proximity between the fantastic conducted by each one, since both express the fantastic through the troubled minds of his characters. From the studies of Todorov (1970), Castex (1974), Vax (1974) and Schneider (1985), we will investigate how fantastic literature was developed in the nineteenth century, in order to highlight how the authors contributed in this context, since their stories deviate from the traditional fantastic tale. Through studies such as Bessière (1974), Roas (2001) and Batalha (2003), we will show the relationship between the fantastic and the discussions on the subject of each epoch, emphasizing the subject of the nineteenth century, context in which the stories that we will analyze were written. Studies that deal with madness in fantastic literature, such as Ponnau (1997), will be employed to demonstrate how the figure of the madman is crafted, and, in relation to the corpus, to highlight the destructive power of mind over body. Because it is a study which refers to the area of comparative literature, the notion of intertextuality, according to Kristeva (1974) and Samoyault (2008), will also be useful during the analysis of the corpus
