Abstract
Through Otto Rank’s studies it is possible to understand the cult to the twins as one of the mythic symbols of the double related to a primitive belief of the soul dualism. The short story “Um desejo e dois irmaos”, inserted in Doze reis e a moca no labirinto do vento (1982) by Marina Colasanti refers to the fi ght between two brothers who want the sky and the sea kingdoms, but it also shows the alchemic integration of the two brothers. This is the symbolic-fi gurative perspective analyzed in this short story, considering the categories of enunciation - subject, time and space - present in Greimas’s Semiotics. Moreover, the study analyses how the discursive level relates to the mechanisms of identity construction.
