He attends a ball, meets Turco's 40-something-year-old virgin daughter Dualiba, and they have an affair. After Dualiba tells her father, José Araújo is forced to marry her.

He becomes a legend, known for defeating the devil and bullies, and meets various women along the way, including a prostitute named Jacirene, a circus acrobat named Sue, a woman with a "toothed vagina" named Mãe de Pantanha, and the daughter of a powerful farmer named Eleonora.
