The presente monograph intends to investigate the representations of the hero on the literary work “O santo e a porca”, from Ariano Suassuna, especially on the perspective of the character Caroba, thatrevels her self as “picaresca”. We also see the peculiarity of other characters and the Northeastern traits, typical from the “Suassunianos” Works. The monograph also look out to aspects of the sacred and the profane on the literary work, mainly based on the theoretical views of Émile Duckheim and Mircea Eliade that help us to get a better undertunding of those perspectives and to analyze them in the work under study. It is a qualitative and bibliographic research to which we seek to rely on documents and texts already produced about the subject and, to reach the goal, we divided the study into three parts, first we look out to know more about the author’s style and aesthetics, after that we presented the literaly work and then we analyzed some importante aspects about the work and the characters. At the and of the research it was possible to notice that the literary work revels the human peculiarities, the game of appearances, especially the Caroba’s craftiness and also fuses opposites such as the sacred and the profane, among other factors.
