Abstract
The main purpose of this article is to show the importance of the affective memory rebuilt in the fictional narrative of Chico Buarque de Hollanda. Through the protagonist-narrator – Eulálio d’Assumpção –, from ‘Spilt Milk’, considerations are made about the speculate structure, a so present element in Buarque’s narrative style. By rescuing a double biography – Eulálio and Matilde – we show that the narrator expresses symptoms of resentment on his text pattern, and the traces left by the image of pain: a symbolic image. We emphasize that this literature piece implicitly designs on its plot a fundamental ontology of being: the wandering. That is why the scope of hermeneutic consciousness is used to receptively show the alterity of the text.
