Descrição: The article focuses on an interpretation of Possession: A Romance by A. S. Byatt as a reconstruction of the Western questing hero's archetype. The protagonist, Roland Michell, embodies the rewriting of various literary heroes, alongside the correspondent scenarios of the texts they inhabit, throughout the narrative. In addition, the work considers Possession as an embodiment of the apocryphal text The Key to All Mythologies, studying how Byatt collects different myths and texts that converge with Roland's search, who is looking unknowingly for that cipher, the essence and truth that underlies each archetype.
