The drama of Nelson Rodrigues revolucionized the entire profile of the BrazilianDramatic gender, which until that point limited itself to plays focused in the action itself, with manydirections to the structural part of the gender, however, poor on figures of language. His plays gaveto drama a new literary sense, being that the universal thematics presented in his work, such as in thegreek tragedies, put the national drama in the same level as the great works of our Literature. Thispaper predicts a brief reflexion on the protagonist character and the catarsis effect in the play AnjoNegro (1947) by Nelson Rodrigues in the attempt to fulfill the stylistic processes that result in theaproximation of the Tragic Hero under the contemporary drama discourse, as a possible discourse ina determined historical period.
