In this paper we analyze the character Virgília, from the novel Memórias póstumas de Brás Cubas (1881), by the author Machado de Assis, seen as a constellation of text fragments capable of generating other texts, without primarily taking the data of objective reality as a basis, but rather appropriating the traces of the word Virgília(o). For this assessment, key categories such as constellation, mimesis, intertextuality and metalanguage must be taken into account, which, framed in a contemporary perspective and duly intertwined, can explain the status of a character built much more around the narrator's writing and experimentalist drafts than by solutions provided by the socio-cultural context advocated by realist literature at the time. The analysis, therefore, is possible taking into account the compositional aspects of the work in the foreground, because considering the way in which the narrator writes what he says is what allows us to raise the possibility of the reading presented here: Virgília as a constellational sign that spreads throughout the narrative.
