In Guimarães Rosa’s The devil to pay in the backlands, Riobaldo, its main character, suddenly faints during the final duel between Hermógenes and Diadorim. This essay intendsto discuss Riobaldo’s loss of consciousness and identity in light of psychoanalysis and interpretations of Hamlet. The narrator/protagonist’s impossibility to act, as he feelsphysically powerless next to the jagunço leader Urutu Branco, defines the novel’s tragic ending. The scene suggests some thoughts on agency and its inhibitions, in a search for newlevels of meaning beyond the novel’s unequivocal Faustian resonances. The fatal struggle and the pact with the devil in Rosa’s book will be reevaluated in this context, in order toreveal new phantomatic identifications by the main character in his journey. Sigmund Freud and Anatol Rosenfeld will guide this search for new thematic and stylistic aspects in Rosa’s book
