Abstract in Portuguese
A presente dissertação tem como propósito estudar o que denominamos herói anti-existencialista do romance Angústia, de Graciliano Ramos, ao analisar sua dificuldade de auto-afirmação diante do mundo de que faz parte, a qual o conduzirá à ação central do livro, o assassinato de Julião Tavares. Escamoteando essa causa subjetiva dos afetos aparentes, os sentimentos de opressão e inferioridade, o protagonista irá atribuí-los ao exterior, à sua existência citadina, ao convívio com o outro, ao rival, Julião Tavares. A dificuldade de auto-afirmação causa de ordem subjetiva desses afetos aparentes , com origem no passado da infância, na não superada rivalidade edipiana, ameaça trazer a tona dois afetos latentes, que se revelam por meio da narrativa digressiva, enquanto forma de auto-análise, a saber: o medo da castração simbólica, e a culpa pelo desejo da morte do pai na infância. Daí a necessidade de escamoteá-la, atribuindo-se ao exterior, a uma causa de ordem objetiva, portanto, os sentimentos de opressão e inferioridade, o que engendrará a idéia de vingança, motivo aparente do assassinato. No ato de vingança estaria implicado um valor anacrônico, com origem na sociedade patriarcal, na qual vivera o menino Luís da silva, a saber: a prática da violência naturalizada, enquanto expressão do sentido arcaico da liberdade, a liberdade ilimitada. Nesse sentido, o caráter anti-existencialista do herói o levará para a livre escolha do assassinato, como forma imprópria de tentar superar os sentimentos de opressão e inferioridade, cuja conseqüência será o aniquilamento do seu ser, descaminho da sua liberdade.

Abstract in English
This dissertation aims at studying the anti-existentialist hero in Angústia, a novel by Graciliano Ramos. In doing so, one analyzes the character´s difficulty of self-affirmation to the world in which he lives, and which will occasionally take him to the central action of the story, that is, the murder of Julião Tavares. As to hide the underlying causes of the apparent affections i.e., feelings of oppression and inferiority , the protagonist will tie them to exterior elements, such as the fact that he lives in town or to the fact that he lives with his enemy, Julião Tavares. The difficulty of self-affirmation is the cause for the underlying apparent affections and has its origins on his childhood, instead of being based on the surpassed oedipal rivalry. It risks bringing up two underlying affections shown up in the story by means of digressions in moments of self analysis done by the character. There are the fear of symbolic castration, end the guilty for wishing for his father´s death when he was a child. This is why he feels the need of hiding them and ties their existence to exterior reasons, to something objective, and this is why he feels inferior and oppressed. Ultimately, there are reasons that will make him wish for revenge and will also constitute the reasons for murder. There is an anachronistic value implied on such revenge, whose origin goes back to the patriarchal society in which the boy Luís da Silva lived: the common naturalized violence as an expression of the archaic sense of freedom an unlimited freedom. In this sense, the anti-existentialist trace of the hero will take him to the free will of murdering as an improper way trying to overcome the feeling of oppression and inferiority, whose consequence will be his own annihilation, a misleading of his freedom.
