This dissertation aims to perform a mitocrytic interpretation of the work Os Semelhantes, of the mato-grossense writer Ricardo Guilherme Dicke, written in the 1970s, and published in 2011, posthumously. The narrative unfolding occurs in a garimpo, in the District of Nossa Senhora da Guia and in Cuiabá, MT. The novel is formed by several narrative core in which the main characters, Abadia, Ramonita, Umbelina, Rosendo and Antônio Gurgéis have in common the fact that they are in search of something, like the diamond, the love or the son. In this process of searching, the characters relate to themselves, to each other and to the nature. They make decisions and make choices based on their values and desires and seek the meaning of their own existence. Throughout the novel are recurrent image constructions with elements like the moon, the night, the silence, the river, the sky. Given the acknowledged aesthetic quality of his work in academia, Dicke certainly uses these images accurately and meticulously. Thus, as they are aestheticized, they take on meaning in the narrative, inserting themselves as inner elements to the plot in a close dialogue with the characters, their imagination and their dramatic unfoldings. In order to reach these senses, the Imaginary Studies, especially the Imaginary Anthropology developed by Gilbert Durand (2002), was used as a theoretical contribution. Thus, the methodological indications pointed out by Durand was adopted to develop a mitocrytic reading of Os Semelhantes, that is, to identify the leitmotiv (literary myth) of the literary work. According to Durand, the mitocrytic study is carried out in three stages, in which the first seeks to identify the redundant motifs that constitute the mythical synchronicities of the work; in the second, were examined the situations and the situation combinatorics of the characters and scenarios; and in the third stage the different lessons of the myth are located and the correlations between a lesson of a myth and other myths of a particular time or cultural space. As a result, it has been identified that the obsessive image of the novel is the search of the characters for their completeness, which represents, mythically, the rupture of the self. Thus, the leitmotiv are the images that represent the myth of the double. It was also evidenced how this myth manifests itself in the situations of the characters and in the scenarios as, for example, in the twin brothers, in the similarities between the characters, in the relation with the elements spectrum / moon, mirror / river, echo / silence. Finally, it was verified how the myth of the double is updated in time and space so that the symbolic universe of the work can be interpreted as representations of the existential questions of the characters, such as death, identity and otherness. In addition to Durand (1988; 1996; 2002), were used, among others, studies by Octávio Paz (2012), Gaston Bachelard (1989; 1997), Mircea Eliade (1992), Edgar Morin (1997), Nicole Bravo (1997), Ana Maria Lisboa de Mello (2000; 2007), Maria Zaira Turchi (2003), Hilda Dutra Magalhães (2001) and Gilvone Furtado Miguel (2007; 2008; 2009; 2012).
