Abstract

The article analyzes the similarities in The Ragazzi, by Pasolini, and "Malagueta, Perus e Bacanço", by Joâo Antônio. Both have as theme the representation of characters from low life of big cities, as Rome and São Paulo. Besides the sameness of the theme - the lack (of residense, money, love and security)-, the article points out other of approximation: the narrative focus; the language full of slang or dialect; the recurrent themes in the underworld ambience, such as the death, the frigth, the cruelty.
