This study of the grotesque is developed around literary works and its techniques and images, examining the aspects of today's artistic production through the lenses of the grotesque and analyzing evolution of the grotesque (the progression of the grotesque practices) and reveals different levels of grotesque imagery and its possible meanings in the works of three authors: Machado de Assis, Camilo Jose Cla, and Alejandra Pizarnik.
