Resumo: | The objective of this study is to discuss about the meanings that the João Grilo´s myth – largely spreaded out in the northeastern hinterland – assumes in the imaginary of the citizens/actors who, directly or indirectly, identify themselves with it, lasting throughout the times. To those that withholds the power and/or are wealthy, the myth – when denounce its vices – represents a threat, calling the attention to the subversion of the order. However, to those, because of physical features and the condition of misery and slavery, identify with the myth, João Grilo represents the hope of better days. Although a cheat, the personage´s moral does not totally lose the brightness and the dignity because, when he does not take the power and the wealth of the defeated opponents, João Grilo neither reproduce nor perpetuates the system of which he is a victim. Therefore, João Grilo, differently from the strict person and the chaotic cangaceiros, is not an extremist, placing himself in an intermediate position in the heroes roll that are present in the folklore-cultural imaginary of the Brazilians. |

Objetiva-se neste estudo refletir sobre os sentidos que o mito de João Grilo – bastante difundido no sertão nordestino – assume no imaginário dos sujeitos/atores que, direta ou indiretamente, com ele se identificam, perpetuando-o ao longo dos tempos. Aos que detém o poder e/ou são abastados, o mito – ao denunciar seus vícios – representa uma ameaça, apontando para a subversão da ordem. Entretanto, àqueles que, por seu aspecto físico e pela sua condição de miséria e escravização, se identificam com o mito, João Grilo representa a esperança de dias melhores. Apesar de malandro, o caráter da personagem não perde totalmente o brilho e a dignidade, pois, ao não se apropriar do poder e da riqueza dos oponentes por ele derrotados, João Grilo não reproduz nem perpetua o sistema do qual fora vítima. Assim sendo, João Grilo, diferentemente dos metódicos caxias e dos cangaceiros caóticos, não é extremista, situando-se numa posição intermediária no rol dos heróis que povoam o imaginário folclórico-cultural brasileiro.
