Abstract

Literary fiction creates a field scenario, where all elements are conditioned to like the game. The representations of reality are translated into a plan of pretense and the reality of the experiential world is cut, so it is omitted and the explicit in the literary text. To express the presence and absence in the text without a plan overlaps the other. Rosa creates anagrammatic poets, whose names are present in the marks of its creation. From the viewpoint of fictional theory, the masks cannot perform the full concealment. As such, they should indicate the pretense. The heteronomy, Fernando Pessoa, is not dissociated from authorial intention, though there are no means of proving that all persons constitute a single poetic I. The heteronyms are distinct from each other and also differ from the person who signs as-ortônimo. This intriguing fact is raised, the scholars, the desire to decipher the riddles of heteronomy. The comparative study of two intercontinental icons of literature is based on the theory of aesthetic effect of Wolfgang Iser, with emphasis on acts of pretense and its effects on the receiver, in addition to simple projection or identification with reality. The metafiction, understood as self-awareness, is the element common to the two poets, who will provide analysis of games of puzzles in order to create poetic personalities in his works.
