Resumen
The present study proposes an analysis of the toilette or, the clothing representation, in the short stories written by Machado de Assis during his mature literary phase. This investigation comprehends the complex symbolic meanings involving some of those garments, as well as the importance they acquire in the author's renowned narratives. It may be observed that the representation of such elements exceeds the more traditional realist experience. In other words, Machado de Assis does not only describe the garments in his narratives but indeed dresses them up with much ampler meanings that, when uncovered, provide us with a much more precise comprehension of the narratives they are part of. 33 1 133 141 Assis, J.M.M., (1997) Obra Completa, , Rio de Janeiro: Nova Aguilar Auerbach, E.A., Mans̃o de la molle (1987) Mimesis, pp. 405-441. , AUERBACH, E, S̃o Paulo: Perspectiva Bosi, A., (1999) Machado de Assis: O Enigma do Olhar, , S̃o Paulo: Ática Faoro, R., (2001) Machado de Assis: A Pirâmide e o Trapézio, , S̃o Paulo: Companhia Editora Nacional Girard, R., (1961) Mensonge Romantique et Vérité Romanesque, , Paris: Grasset Gomes, E., (1958) Machado de Assis, , Rio de Janeiro: Ed.
