The myth of the Double, always present in Literature since Antiquity, has been vigorously updated on Silviano Santiago s literary works, bringing new meanings amongst them and in particular that of the plurality of Human being. In this dissertation, I approach the writer s point of view in relation to the Difference and the literary craftsmanship, present in two of his novels, Stella Manhattan and A Family Story. On Silviano s books I compare the approach of questions like homoeroticism and madness in the Burgeoisie and Christian societies to those on films that, through the lenses of the Double, were focused on the same subject. I bring those questions up by adding the contribution of other authors such as Denilson Lopes, Julia Kristeva, Jurandir Freire Costa, Michel Foucault and others. I suggest that the Literature of Silviano Santiago is a conscious effort to lead the reader to esthetically experience the Other.
