Brazilian critics as well as the academics in general seem to show a sort of dislike for Amado’s language. Often the ironical comment or negative tone does not suppress their disapproval of his use of language, ignoring the lyricality, simplicity and stylistic innovation in his novels for instance in Terras do sem fim, Gabriela, cravo e canela or in Tereza Batista Cansada de Guerra. Present paper focuses on female silencing and the use of non verbal language in Tereza Batista to show how this prolific Brazilian writer kills two birds with one stone. On one hand it shows Amado’s command on language and on the other hand it shows how Amado offers a verbal meaning through a non verbal mean making, this otherwise “powerless woman” the victim of social and sexual abuse, an “intelligent” woman who learns to speak through her eyes. Her tongue is tied not her eyes, the most powerful tool her creator could offer her to speak.

Her tongue is tied not her eyes: Amado’s experiment with non verbal language in Tereza Batista Cansada de Guerra
