This article aims to speak about the type of knowledge provided by fictional narratives. Based on the concepts of "fiction" proposed by Plato, Aristotle and Searle (2002), the text investigates how you can gain knowledge from fictional works that pretend reality. For this, we analyzed the trajectory of the protagonist of the novel Disgrace, by JM Coetzee (2000). The proposal is to investigate how the character starts to know themselves in the story and find out how their experiences reverberate in the reader.Downloads
