This paper of a master degree aims at studying the morality in Gil Vicente, researching the esthetic- ideological characteristics of the genre and its relation with the reception of the idea of death during the Low Middle Age. In order to achieve that, it will be analyzed the moralities Auto da Alma (1518) and Auto da Barca da Glória (1519), pointing out the main characteristics of each text, such as the allegory, the religious ideology and the reception of the idea of death in each work. The morality genre was possibly the major realization of Gil Vicente s theater. Despite the limited number of moralities strictusensu produced by the author, who wrote them in a sporadic way, it can be affirmed that the plastic beauty of the texts, conceived mainly by the use of the allegory, raised the genre to the category of masterpiece of the universal theater. The concern with death, which in any other time was as valued as during the end of Middle Age, was also used as motto for the building of the genre inside Gil Vicente s theater, from the idea that the didactic intention of the morality served as moral doctrine which taught the art of well dying. Among the studies which served as theoretical support for the accomplishment of this work, it is emphasized Saraiva (1965, 1995, 2000), Keates (1962), Reckert (1977), Teyssier (1982), Bernardes (2003,2006,2008) and Berardinelli (2012) among the critics to Gil Vicente; in relation to theater, allegory and foreigner moralities studies, the main authors are Craig (1950), Potter (1975), Pineas (1962), Hansen (1986), Naves(2001), Berthold (2008), Heliodora (2008), Saraiva and Bernardes; on the representation of death during the Low Middle Age, we used the works by Huizinga (1985) andÀries (2003) according to the ones by Martins (1969) , Infantes (1977) e Ugarte (2009).
