The present work aims to carry out an analysis of the chronicle “Without an arm in hell”, present in the book, A baggage of the traveler (2017), by the Portuguese author, José Saramago, through the use of the concept of irony as a recognition of impotence. of the subject for himself, coined by Gyorgy Lukács, in his work Theory of the novel (2009). Our intention, therefore, starts from the assumption of revealing how, the author, makes use of this figure of speech, to represent the discontent of the protagonist subject through the finite character of human life, making use of an allegorical margin of interpretation of the concept, in order to incorporate irony as a character in his fiction.
