The maelstron and its crossing from “one two”, by Eliane Brum
One two. Maelstrom. Eliane Brum. Epistemology of the Romance
This research aims to present how the crossing of the word maelstrom works from the novel One Two (2011), by Eliane Brum. From the perspective of the nonsacred figure of maternal love, we propose that, through the questions about motherhood, the narrative raises the concerns of the human condition, mainly through the word maelstrom, present in the narrative. We will observe that we can identify, in addition to the meaning of a maternal vortex, other levels of meanings such as a vortex of the narrative, of the reader and a vortex of the author. In order to understand this study, it will be important to link reflections within the scope of the discussions raised by the Epistemology of Romance theory.
