Através do ciclo do herói de Joseph Campbell, do ciclo de mago de Stephen Ware, bem como das propostas de análises de personagens de Vladimir Propp e Mieke Bal, analisamos o personagem Merlin na obra A Morte de Artur, de Sir Thomas Malory. A partir desta análise, comparamos seu percurso narrativo e suas funções narrativas com as do mago arquetípico de Ware. Em seguida, fazemos o mesmo com os personagens Ulrich, Obi-wan Kenobi e Morpheus, nos três filmes escolhidos, e comparamos estas análises entre os personagens fílmicos e Merlin, para averiguar se estes seriam traduções – embora não-nomeadas – do mago arthuriano. / The present work analyses the ressignification of the character Merlin, from Arthurian legends, in three contemporary movies: Dragonslayer, Star Wars and The Matrix - regarding the point of view of intersemiotic translation. Throughout the Hero Cycle of Joseph Campbell, the Mage Cycle of Stephen Ware, and also the proposals of character analysis from Vladimir Propp and Mieke Bal, the character Merlin is analyzed using the book Le Mort D´Arthur, written by Sir Thomas Malory. From this analysis, the narrative trajectory of Merlin and his narrative functions are compared to the archetypical mage of Stephen Ware. After that, the same process is made for the characters Ulrich, Obi-wan Kenobi and Morpheus, from the three chosen movies, and those analysis are compared with the analysis of Merlin, in order to assure if those characters are or are not intersemiotic translations – although not named by the authors as Merlin´s adaptation – of de Arthurian mage.
