Machado developed, especially after [tel]and what is usually considered the beginning of his ?mature? period), a kind of anti-realistic, ?new narrative,? one that presents itself as self-referential fictional artifice but one that also cultivates a keen social consciousness.?Fitz concludes that Machado increasingly uses his female characterizations to convey this social consciousness and to show that the new Brazil that is emerging both before and after the establishment of the Brazilian Republic [tel] requires not only the emancipation of black slaves but the emancipation of its women as well.
