| Summary: | Pointing out some of the commonalities between the comedy O Santo e a Porca and its Plautine model, the Aulularia, this paper intends to call attention to particular effects resulting from the blending of Brazilian and Roman motifs. More specifically, our goal is to explore whether certain textual and performative features that contemporary scholarship on the Roman playwright has pointed out are also present in the Brazilian play. This intertextual investigation casts light on Suassuna’s own blend of erudite and folk arts, which characterizes his “Northeastern” poetics in the Saint and the Sow. |
