Its secondary objectives are to explore what Severino's heroic journey is and how it took place, and to identify his role as a character, in addition to investigating how he represents a collective whole. This work is a bibliographical research of basic typology: first, the literature was studied and fixed and, soon after, it was analyzed in the corpus. The following authors are used as bibliography: Alfredo Bosi, Joseph John Campbell, Pilati and Alfed. Finally, it is in the hands of writers and artists to fight inequalities, using literature as a reflection of social problems.
