Abstract

This article intends to present a little analysis of Guimarães Rosa’s short story “Meu tio o iauaretê”, showing some traces of Greek tragedy in its composition, mainly when referring to a representation of other, as it occurs to Dionysus, the Lydian foreigner from Euripides’ The Bacchae. Perfoming this other, the main character lives an identity crisis: as a white man, he just incurs against the Judaic-Christian religion; as an indian, he corroborates some white man values; and as an animal, he confronts his human nature.
