Acesso em: .https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/13535A city establishes important meanings for Literature. Thus, many studies show the relevance seeking to understand the relationship between Literature and literary work. In "Belém do Grão-Pará" (1960) by Dalcídio Jurandir, this is no different, since the city becomes a crucial figure for the novel's plot; because of that, many scholars such as, Nunes (2006), Linhares (1987), Furtado (2010), Ornela (2003), Castilo (2007), emphasized the role that the city means in the narrative, more specifically, showing the current personification in the romantic lines. Considering this perspective, the initiative of this study is based on the necessity to extend this indication. To that end, the aim is to interpret Belém city as a character in the work "Belém do Grão-Pará". However, to reach this purpose it intends to note the limits between character and space in the narrative; understanding how configuring the city can establish it as a character; and, at the same time, inspecting how the city dialogues with other characters. To that end, proceeds the bibliographic research on a range of definitions of space, characters and cities in literature. Texts by Osman Lins (1976), Candido (2011), Santos e Oliveira (2001), Dimas (1985), Dias (1986), Briesemeister (1998), Freitag (1998) Mesquita (1986), Borges Filho (2007; 2009), Barbieri (2009), among others, were essential for the reflection of this purpose. Therefore, it is observed that the bounds between space and character are subtle and, mainly, they contribute to build the profile of the city, in concluding that it is a character in "Belém do Grão-Pará".Acesso AbertoAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/Jurandir, Dalcidio - 1909-1979 - Belém do Grão Pará - História e críticaCidadePersonagemCityCharacterDissertaçãoCNPQ::LINGUISTICA, LETRAS E ARTES::LETRAS::TEORIA LITERARIALITERATURA, INTERPRETAÇÃO, CIRCULAÇÃO E RECEPÇÃOESTUDOS LITERÁRIOS
