A personagem Antonio José na peça Antonio José ou O Poeta e a Inquisição : um estudo de caráter do protagonista

Abstract

The drama character is created by the way it reveals itself and its relationship with the other characters, in order to represent the author s point of view. Domingos José Gonçalves de Magalhães, based on the comedy author Antonio José da Silva, the Jewish s life and work, wrote the tragedy Antonio José ou O Poeta e a Inquisição, where the main character is built up in the context of a strict conflict with reality, converging to Bakhtin s concept of the dialogic subject. This research aims to investigate how the main character is built up in the play and also how the author s worldview can be seen in its relation with the character s ethos.
