The cousin-work of the Brazilian writer Ariano Suassuna was written in 1955 and raised to the stage for the first time in 1956 at the Santa Isabel Theater. Self gives compassion It is a small divided into three parts and items as a country estate or Northeastern Sertão. The work is the first time for theatrical productions to carry forte in popular tradition.

Characterized by the marked presence of humor, a known history ganhou um public ainda mais amplo em 1999, when it was adapted for a television (a minissérie da TV Globo) and, not to follow, virou longa metragem.

The adventures of João Grilo and Chicó are part of the Brazilian collective imagery and portrayed with fidelity or day by day that they fight for survival in an adverse environment.

I summarize

João Grilo e Chicó are your friends inseparáveis ​​who starred in lived history not in the Northeast. Assorted pela fome, peel aridity, peel dry, peel violence and peel poverty, trying to survive num hostile and miserly environment, you two friends use intelligence and give you hope to contour problems.

(Attention, esse artigo contém spoilers)

Or falecimento do cão

A history comes as the death of the puppy from the female of the sufferer. Whenever he was alive, a senhora, squashed animal hair, you will in any way convince or father Benze-lo.

You two functionaries of the husband's father - you experts João Grilo e Chicó - also embark without defiance and intercede with the father. You are welcome, adiantou tamanho effort, to the misfortune of the donut or the puppy Morreu will finally be blessed.

Or burial of the animal

Convinced that it was necessary to bury the animal under pomp and circumstance, two experts João Grilo e Chicó were again assisted by two experts to try to persuade the father to carry out the vigil.

O Maroto João Grilo says then, as he talks to the father, that he had left a testament where he promised two king's cones for the three for the vestry or burial pit made in Latin.

Depois of some hesitation or father dated business with João Grilo thinking how many things he would receive. Or that he could not imagine what would appear or bispo a meio da transação.

Or bispo fica horrified with dinner: where did a father ever see me (still on top in Latin!)? You know what to do, João Grilo then says that the will, not true, promised six counts for the archdiocese and four for the parish. Showing-is also corrupting hair dinheiro, or bispo face gross view to situation.

A chegada do bando de Severino

Halfway through the city and invaded perigoso hair side of cangaceiro Severino. Either side kills practically everyone (or bispo, or father, or sacristão, or patient and woman).

Com medo da morte, João Grilo e Chicó tentam uma last saída: say for the members of the side that tinham uma bagpipe Born by Padrinho Father Cícero who was able to resuscitate the dead and who could deliver it to you. alive.

You cangaceiros do not accredit, but you do have a demonstration. Chicó trazia hiding a sack with blood, when João found to give a facada not friend or what happens and the bag breaks.

O side accredits that or subject of fato morreu, I tied that João plays such bagpipe and Chicó supposedly resuscitates.

To the death of poor João Grilo and the final judgment

O truque da gaita benta does not sustain itself for a long time and the logo João Grilo ends up being dead cangaceiros hairs. Já no céu, all the people are in each other. At the time of the final judgment, Nossa Senhora intercedes for each two persons.

You are considered as difficult to save (or father, or bishop, or sacristão, or sufferer and his wife) follow directly for or purgatory.

Surprise arises when the respective religious are sent directly to or purgatory in Severino and or his capanga, allegedly criminal, are sent to or paradise. Nossa Senhora manages to defend the fact that you were naturally bons, but were corrupted by the system.

João Grilo, for his time, received the grace of turning to his own body. When he returns to Terra, he agrees to attend or bury him, feito pelo melhor amigo Chicó. Chicó, for the time being, had promised Nossa Senhora that he would deliver everything or money that he had to Igreja if João Grilo survived. As a miracle happens, from muita hesitação you two friends fazem a life doação promised.

Analyze

Linguagem used

A peça Self gives compassion It is deeply marked by oral linguistics, Suassuna has a regionalist style that aims to replicate precisely the fala do Nordestino:

JOÃO GRILO: Ó homem sem vergonha! Do you ask any questions? It is skewed that ela or deixou?

The people have the same fault record, compatible with the found in the Brazilian Northeast environment, each person has a unique and particular discourse.

For the northeastern linguagem, it is advisable to create a series of elements that are not what the author invests in to cause a verossimilhança effect: a narrative face, for example, use of typical northeastern objects, figurines habitually used by residents of the region and até same replica cenários do sertão that help the spectator to imerge na story.

Or dinheiro like aquilo that corrupts

No text by Ariano Suassuna we see how all the people are corrupted with their hair, I tied the same those who supposedly should not be linked to matter (case of two religious).

It is worth remembering the behavior of the father, who is submerged by the woman of the suffering to bury or to pray a mass, in Latin, in homage to the animal.

JOÃO GRILO: Esse was a smart puppy. Before dying, he stops the tower da igreja every time he or she batted. Nesses last tempos, já doente to die, he bounces some olhos bem bought for both sides daqui, Latindo na major sadness. I said that my patrão understood, as a minha patroa, and of course, that he wanted to be abençoado by father and die like cristão. More nem assim ele sossegou. It is necessary for the patrão to promise that they have come to entrust bênção and that, in the case of death, they would have a Latin burial. That in exchange for burial he acrescentaria no testamento of the dez contos de réis for the father and three for the sacristão.
SACRISTÃO, wiping a tear: What an intelligent animal! What a noble feeling! (Calculator.) E or will? Where is it?

Besides the father and the sacristão, also the bispo enters the same jogada and demonstrou-se also corrupted with dinheiro hair.

Intelligence as the only possible knowledge

We see a long time in history as Chicó and João Grilo sofrem in a hard daily life, marked by dry skin, and by encouraging exploration.

Due to the context of penury, or what remains for the personagens and uses the only resource that we fear: intelligence.

Another stretch of the July dinner, when João Grilo tries to travel to greater depth, to free himself, he accuses the devil, Christ or warns you: “Deixe de chicana, João. Do you think that is here or Palácio da Justiça? "

You two friends do not have work, do not have practically money, do not have access to formal knowledge, but more than enough Esperteza, malandragem e perspicácia: Chicó and João Grilo observe the situations and quickly see how we can make a profit of the.

Criticism of the system

You humble people are victims of oppression provoked by crown hairs, by religious authorities, donos da terras and cangaceiros hairs. Convém sublinhar that the viewpoint of two more humble ones is told, and that the spectator creates immediate identification.

JOÃO GRILO: Is it skeptical of the exploration that the fazem I know about the padaria do inferno? I think that only because I will enrich, but one day I have to pay. It was because I had this because when I was there, I was ending up on top of a bed, via passer or by food that she sent for the puppy. I tied ravaged meat na manteiga tinha. For me, nothing, João Grilo, let him get hurt. Um dia eu me vingo.

Those who must protect the poorest - the catholic entities (represented by father and bispo hair) - acabam demonstrating belonging to the same corrupt system and, for that reason, they are satirized as all of us powerful.

Or humor

João Grilo e Chicó represents the downtrodden and all but a great satire of the sad and cruel reality of the Northeast. In spite of the subject covered by Suassuna it will be dense, or it is written and it is always based on humor and lightness.

We also see no text or record of two "causes", this is, myths and legends that perpetuate themselves in the popular imagination:

CHICÓ: Bom, eu I say assim because I know like that povo é cheio de coisas, but nothing else. Eu same já tive um dig bento. (...)
JOÃO GRILO: When are you teve or bug? E foi você quem pariu o cavalo, Chico?
BOY: Eu não. Mas do jeito que coisas vão, I don't admire myself more than anything No more spent a mulher teve um, na serra do Araripe, for the sides of Ceará.

A linguagem quase brincalhona, marked by spontaneity, is one of the characteristics of the writer's prose that adds graça à peça. Another aspect that collaborates for the construction of two characters, who are caricatured many times, drawing even more comicity to the plot.

Personagens principais

João Grilo

A poor and miserly subject, my friend of Chicó, uses his strength to outline difficult situations in life. João Grilo represents a piece of northeastern povo that, in the face of a difficult daily life, uses improvisation and improvisation to get rid of openings.

Guy

João Grilo's little friend, he is by your side in all the adventures and tries to unravel the tragic daily life that he lives through humor. He is more fearful of his friend than he is afraid of when he becomes embittered by the lies of João Grilo. Chicó is the typical known one, who is forced to exercise imagination in order to survive.

Padeiro

Dono da padaria na region of Taperoá, or country of Chicó and João Grilo. Na pessoal life he feared an unfaithful woman because he was beaten. Or I will suffer from a typical representative of the middle class that tries to survive, many times he is facing two poorer people.

To mulher do dolor

An unfaithful woman who behaves socially like a puritanical woman. She is battered with hair and treats me badly than human beings over the years. A woman of suffering is a symbol of social hypocrisy.

Father João

Due to his religious position as commander of the local parish, or father, he was supposedly a little subject. incorruptible, stripped of financial ambitions, but ends up being as corrupt as any other being human. We see no father João um portrait of ganância and da cobiça (by irony, two capital sins condemned by Igreja).

Bispo

Superior to or father in terms of hierarchy, or Bispo tenta puni-lo when he discovers the situation of the day. Meanwhile, it was not the same mistake of father when a tip was also offered to him. O Bispo afinal is shown to be corrupt and middle quanto or father.

Cangaceiro Severino

É o cangaceiro chefe do bando. Fearful by everyone in the region, he has suffered a series of victims and ended up in the world of crime due to lack of opportunities. Or cangaceiro Severino is the representative of a huge portion of the population that ends up falling into a destination of violence because there are no other hypotheses.

Nossa Senhora

She intercedes for everyone during the final meeting and intervenes with unimaginable comments such as, for example, when she takes the word to defend or Cangaceiro Severino. Our Lady is deeply bountiful and tries to bring everyone to paradise: she looks for rational and logical arguments to justify possible faults of character.
