Thus, it adopts a dialectic perspective, which debates the contagion of genres in the modernity, with predominance of romance. Therefore, the romance is understood as predominant, assimilated by Happy Days. More specifically, the narrative voice of the main character is listed as an epic manifestation in scene. It is highlighted as the theatrical paralyses resulted of actions that are delivered and occur in an insular subjectivity; displayed in emphasis in relation to the other characters. These are characteristics which, commonly, belong to the modern drama. However, to the analyses of the target, this study claims a broader approximation with the romance theory. Consequently, it is also aimed to analyze theatrical phenomena, odd to the classic tragedy, such as Romanesque manifestations, mainly originated by the rupture of the subject and the object. In this way, Happy Days was examined by means of the subjective displacements of its main character, as well as the reorganization of her memories.application/pdfopenAccessDrama modernoContágios dos gênerosMemória CulturalLinguística, Letras e ArtesDissertação
