Abstract
This essay aims to analyse the hysterical female character in naturalistic prose influenced by Gothic poetics. For this, we reassess both Gothic and Naturalism. While the first is understood as a poetics that embodies a pessimistic interpretation of the world in a highly aestheticized artistic language, the second has its objective- scientific pretension and its blends with romantic heritages reanalysed. To investigate the figurations of the hysterical character in Brazilian literature, we also studied the short story “Muscles and nerves” (1893) and the novel O homem (1887), both by Aluisio Azevedo. Keywords: Gothic; Naturalism; Brazilian literature
