神话是国民认同的重要依据,文学浸透着神话,故而巴西文学依赖于神话取得其在国家初创时的整合性:在印第安主义代表作中,爱冉赛玛的命运暗示着文明的进程由美洲建立,并以摧毁本土居民的利益和文化习俗为代价;在人类学作品中,主人公马克耐蒙的身份则摇摆于边疆充满活力的征服者与从现代世界逃离的困惑者之间。 Mythology is an important basis for national identity. Literature is permeated with mythology. Therefore, Brazilian literature relies on the myth to achieve its integration at the time of its creation. In the representative works of the Indian nation, the fate of Love Ranmai implies that the process of civilization was established by the Americas, And at the expense of destroying the interests and cultural practices of the indigenous inhabitants; in anthropological writings, the identity of the protagonist, Mark Kingmon, swayed between the energetic conqueror of the frontier and the confused who escaped from the modern world.
