This article aims to investigate the construction of Pain and Death in O Monstro by Humberto de Campos. In the narrative, there are three dominant characters: Pain, Death and Man. Death is present in literature since ancient civilization, as can be seen in Gilgamesh, written in Mesopotamia, probably around the years 2150 - 1400 BCE, to the present days, as a driving force of narratives. Therefore, we will look for authors who dealt with the relationship between death, pain and man in the literary universe. As a theoretical support we will build on the literary scholarship of Edgar Morin (1997) and Philippe Ariès (2012), Hoggard (2022) and Sonja Loidl (2010).
