Summary/Abstract: This article analyzes the problem of dehumanization reflected in literary works. This problem is largely related to an ideological standard that overlaps with the factor that defines the human personality, respectively that of the character, the free thought and its spiritual constitution that reflects an image of the divine. Or, superposed on an ideological factor of constraint on the human personality, it only annuls it and transforms the human into a social tool. And if this personality somehow manifests itself, it becomes a danger, a hybris against the system and for the entire sphere of the social entity. We are particularly interested in the novel "Three Hours in Hell" because it parabolically unmasks the mechanism, at the level of imaginary sensitivity, namely of the possible, which triggers the evil precisely due to the implementation of policies created by "ideal societies" or other courts that impose characters a certain behavior.
