Inthe ficcional world created by Jose Lins do Rego, it has three great characters – colonel Lula deHolanda, Jose Amaro and Vitorino Carneiro da Cunha - that they represent three types ofspeeches: of the huge ones, of the shady and the quixotic ones and that they become related ofsufficiently tense form in this environment of politics agitation.
