Resumo
The characters in O Cobrador, by Rubem Fonseca, either by vengeance, or as a response to a threat or to the dissatisfaction with the social place imposed on them, live situations of challenge towards the contrary power. Considering the corpus of the present work, which studies the violence and eroticism in the short stories in O Cobrador, as well as its links to power and resistance, according to philosopher Michel Foucault, such opposition will be found in the violent attitude of the main character in the title short story; in Mandrake s decision to pursue the elucidation of the crime, against the will of his powerful client; in the riot broken out by the convicted interns of the Onze de Maio Home; and in the socially condemned and forbidden passion of the Pierrô da Caverna. The establishment of parallels between the heroes in O Cobrador and other heroes found in comparable narratives by the same author and others, highlight this confrontation. Although they confront and win powerful forces, these fictional men and women are damned to frustration, given the fungibility of their triumphs.
