Abstract

In this paper, we argue that the narrator of Guimarães Rosa’s “– Uai, eu?” narrates his crime to a narratee, his lawyer, in such a way that it becomes possible for the reader to perceive the ambiguity of his speech and to reflect about his guilt. To achieve our aim, we use Gerard Genette’s and Gerald Prince’s terminology.
