Summary: Under lenses countercolonial and dialectical-materialist, this research analyzed the
narrative function of five characters in A hora dos ruminantes ([1966] 2022), by José
J. Veiga. Merging aspects of the textualist and contextualist critical analysis, the study
concludes that these five relevant characters to the development of the novel -
Geminiano Dias, Amâncio Mendes, Manuel Florêncio, Nazaré and Apolinário - act as
allegorical signs of the social relations inter-related. The methodology of this work is
the bibliographic survey, with the critical works used in this research being: Souza
(1987), Amaral (2002), Dantas (2003), Paganini (2007), Rezende (2008), Santos
