Abstract

This article analyses two episodes from the novel Grande sertão: Veredas,
written by João Guimarães Rosa: Zé Bebelo’s judgment and the pact made by
Riobaldo. In the first episode, one examines the peculiar society constituted
in the “sertão” by “coronéis” and “jagunços”; in the second one, the notion
of pact is broadened beyond the symbolic deal made with the devil, showing
its development as strategies of survival in an environment in which the
apparent disorder reveals itself as the essence of the order devised and kept
by violence.
