Abstract

This study intends to approach how the male voice behaves in the face of female refusal, the main motto of the satirical poem “Antonia”, by Gregório de Matos. Especially, the reader is allowed to identify judgments, prejudices and defamations. With an arrogant and impulsive personality, the lirical subject reveals vanities, repressions and passions, hidden under the apparent superiority of cultured, nobleman and literary man. The idea of masculinity is a social construction and, in the poem in analysis, it is constructed by a discourse that opposes and degrades the feminine.It is clear that, after the prostitute’s disdain for the noble lover’s advances, his superiority and honor are recovered only by the supremacy of language.
