description The following work aims to demonstrate how violence is conditioning of redemption in Tarântula (1984), by Thierry Jonquet, a novel that gained notoriety after it’s film adaptation with the title "A pele que habito", released in 2011. What is noticeable is that Vincent characters, then with another name, Ève (a woman) and Richard Lafargue join the end of the narrative. Although she has been imprisoned and subjected to a drastic transformation of his body and he, on a whim of revenge, made use of his plastic medical knowledge to promote sex change in Vincent without his permission. Even with all the violence that surrounds them, they surrender to each other. From this main event and others that permeate this novel, it is possible to state that this work moves from grotesque, with the issue of violence, to sublime, with the theme of redemption.
