This thesis aims to analyze, in the fiction of Dalton Trevisan and Clarice Lispector, particularly the short stories Rest Home, 92, Happy Anniversary e Trip to Petrópolis, the representation old-age, trying to identify, comparatively both the similarity and singularities of the works, refers to the problem of old-age through the ideology of modern social reality and the way in which literature internalizes it. The paper seeks to show that literature also assumes a social function in that it stimulates the reader to a greater perception of the world and of himself, highlighting the ironic characteristics of the stories being studied to emphasize the theme discussed. To discuss the representation of old-age, the present study takes as main references Simone Beauvoir's thought in The Coming of Age (1990), the most important contemporary essay on the living conditions of the elderly and Ecléa Bosi in Memories and Society, Memories of the Old (1994). In order to discuss the relationship between literature and society, fiction and reality, we take as a theory the reflections of Antonio Candido, present mainly in the book Literature and Society (2006), the thinking of Raymond Williams in Culture and Materialism (2011), And Pável Nikolayev Medvedev, in The formal method in literary studies: critical introduction to a sociological poetics (2012). As for the ironic marks or dimensions of the short stories, we will analyze them in the light of Soren Kierkegaard's concepts in The concept of irony: constantly referred to Socrates (2013) and Bete Brait in Ironia in polyphonic perspective (2008). The discussion includes the way in which industrial society, guided by the prism of acceleration and technological capital, transforms the elderly into a synonym of decadence by placing it on the margins of this new development. The elderly in contemporary times reflect perspectives of social analysis, which are based on the category of work and unlike modern Western societies, in traditional societies is seen as knowledgeable and responsible greater by the acquired and accumulated experience to be transmitted to future generations. The short stories analyzed, Rest Clinic, 92, Happy Birthday e Trip to Petrópolis, reveal the incorporation of mistreatment and lack of respect for elders, making us reflect on the modern social reality, as far as such a subject is concerned to the society
