History Series / Saramandaia

* ItsAlwaysSunnyAtFunerals: Cazuza's funeral happens at a sunny day (although a storm seems to be building over). He ends up resuscitating, though.

* QuirkyHousehold: Nothing to see here, just a little old lady, her werewolf son (who attends by Professor Aristóbulo, after a string of seven daughters) and her late husband turned disembodied head, living on an old, Victorian-style, house.

--> ''Dona Pupu'': Oh Belisário, I wonder about where did he get it from.

* MirrorCharacter: In the remake, Professor Aristóbulo and João Gibão are men who choose to hide their differences (becoming a werewolf in Aristóbulo's case and having wings in João's) for fear of the reactions from other citizens of Bole-Bole. Both have supportive families, with their mothers (Dona Pupu and Dona Leocádia, respectively) being their biggest supporters. Both fall in love with women who wholeheartedly support them (Risoleta and Marcina), but they back away for fear of hurting/scaring their lovers, refusing to tell them the truth about themselves. The main difference between them is their political opinions: Aristóbulo is, for most of the telenovela, a conservative/pro-Bole-Bole and João Gibão is a liberal/pro-Saramandaia. [[spoiler: Another one is the way the exposition of their conditions happen: Aristóbulo is basically [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything outed]] after a disastrous political campaign, but João chooses to show his wings to the public. In the original version it was to fly away from the town after being persecuted, in the remake it was to fly back in time and save Marcina from death.]] In the end, they start working more closely together, striking a friendship. [[spoiler: Also both Professor Aristóbulo and João Gibão end the novela married.]]

** Aristóbulo is mostly neutral towards his lycanthropy, but starts to resent it after [[spoiler: he accidentally hurts Risoleta]]. Dona Pupu, his mom, never regretted having a werewolf son and wishes he could accept himself wholeheartedly as much as she does. Risoleta has an outright werewolf obsession, and despite backing away after what happened, she doesn't stop loving him and his curse [[spoiler: nor believes he killed his former fiancée]]. Aristóbulo gets better after realizing his mom and [[spoiler: future wife]] are right.

* FreakinessShame: João Gibão absolutely loathes his wings in the remake. His family, however, accepts him.

* FantasticRacism: The moment the townspeople find out for sure that Professor Aristóbulo is a werewolf, they subject him to a series of prejudiced remarks (specially the bole-bolenses, his former allies). [[spoiler: Despite most of the hate dying down after a few months (and Aristóbulo finding new allies on the local "weirdos" Marcina and João Gibão), Dona Fifi, her husband and a few others decide to march in protest of Aristóbulo's wedding with Risoleta, believing him to be more akin to a sterile animal, rather than a human.]]
