The article examines the process of the creation of the novel Memorial de Maria
Moura (1994), by Rachel de Queiroz, and also it’recreation for its eponymous miniseries
produced by TV Globo, in 1996. The novel, written over 17 years, was preceded by a long and
thorough search, and is the result of the hard work of the writer, who has worked in construction
and development of the characters' actions. The writer, therefore, reacts strongly when
confronting, in the script, especially with scenes that run counter to ethics of its protagonist.
From suggestions and comments Rachel de Queiroz recorded in the script, faced with changes
to the final work aired, it is possible to evaluate the writer’s interference on the TV version os
Memorial, in wich she likes the most, that is, the character’s personality and psychology, Maria
Moura.
