This study addresses the female character in the play As Primícias (1970), by Dias Gomes, with respect to the aspects of rupture and dissent represented by the structural elements that approximate the tragic genre. In the speech of the character named “Proprietário” (Owner) there is the determinism of the social and political conditions prevailing in his lands and in the fate of men. The fact of being characterized by a social role instead of a name is a reference to the universal situation of power abuse. Although the play moves away from the genre in some aspects, in others it maintains a strong intertextuality with ancient tragedy regarding the stylization of the heroin, the presence of radical antinomies and the interventionist role of the chorus.Downloads
