Abstract

This article presents considerations regarding the narrator, the grotesque and the carnivalization in the novel Caim (2009) written by José Saramago, taking into consideration the concepts of dialogism and discursive modalities of Bahktin. This article aims at understanding the new meaning that the Portuguese author proposes by re-reading widely known Bible stories from the Jewish-Christian tradition, through the use of resources such as irony and criticism.
