The aim of this article is to analyze the representation of the devil in the novel The Brothers Karamazov, by Fyodor Dostoevsky, and in the short story A Igreja do Diabo, by Machado de Assis. The analysis is based on the tragedy of Faust, by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the origin of a tradition that relates to the demonic insatiability of modern man. Aspects of their historical contexts reflected in the works are also pointed as well as differences and similarities between the experiences of heroes when it comes to good and evil. Although universal, this theme reaches peculiar representations to the authors analyzed in this study, by virtue of style and creativity of each and also their various historical and cultural conditions.Downloads
