In this article, we propose an analysis of the variations of the double myth in Milton Hatoum’s novel Two Brothers, published in 2000. Based on the theoretical and critical assumptions from Bravo (1997), Rank (2013), Bachelard (1993), Rosset (1999) and Freud ( 1996), it is intended to demonstrate that in addition to the theme of the twin brothers the double, in Two Brothers, can be read in two other aspects of duplicity: the narrator configuration, which tries to define its identity as mirror other; and the image of the house in ruins, a space that doubly reflects the decadence of the Lebanese family, as well as the immigrant’s cultural identity on the land of others.Downloads
