Abstract

This work aims to analyze how environment in the language of some characters in Dried Lives (1938), the work of Graciliano Ramos. A raised hypothesis lies in the realization that the precarious use of language is a consequence of the medium to which the characters are inserted. In order to support this hypothesis, we have experimented with theoretical subsidies that support our research, in which they deal with characters, language and the environment, in order to contextualize the literary movement and the novel Dried Lives. In this sense, as a function of the object of study, a qualitative method research is developed, taking as a methodological basis the bibliographic research with presentation of the studies carried out and with a framework of relevant theories for research and analysis.

A trajectory of the family and marked by many difficulties caused by drought, famine, lack of housing and oppression of the boss and local authorities.
