In Dom Casmurro, Machado ironizes the penchant for romanticism, the tragic, and the pathetic in Brazilian culture. He gives a burlesque modulation to Flaubert's narrative tradition, which this study contrasts with some European variants of this deconstruction (Nietzsche, Kafka, and Musil). The detached point of view and the burlesque sarcasm of the enunciation belong to the anti-tragic current in the Portuguese-Brazilian tradition
