Nova Revista Amazônica, online, v. 7, n. 1, p. 215-225, abr. 2019. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.18542/nra.v7i1.6984. Disponível em: http://repositorio.ufpa.br:8080/jspui/handle/2011/12539. Acesso em:.2318-1346https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/12539Understanding the symbolic meaning of the literary work consists of analyzing the various elements present in context. Milton Hatoum's work Two Brothers is permeated by these elements, which help us to understand the manauara society in its formation process. Through this work, we seek to analyze, in the context of the work and the time described, the personage Domingas, seen like native acculturated and that occupies a servile position in relation to the other personages, and which has its identity deconstructed, as it is inserted in this situation of servitude. Building on the work of Rama and Candido, we use researchers from the work of Hatoum, as Mantovani, Alves and Borges. We could conclude that the work of Milton Hatoum presents us with reflections on life, social conflicts and the culture of the underprivileged populations of the Brazilian Amazon in its formation process.Acesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/Literatura brasileiraMilton HatoumDois irmãosDomingasArtigo de Periódicohttp://dx.doi.org/10.18542/nra.v7i1.6984
