Imagem de Fabiano

Abstract

This essay focuses on several aspects and implications of the composition of the character Fabiano in Graciliano Ramos’ novel Vidas secas, in order to emphasize the possibility - opened by the narrator - of surprising the great pleasure that succeeds to the main character when he understands the words and, with them, the reality they refer to.
