Identity and culture are two indicators that reveal the character's choices in the sub-Saharan African, Congolese novel Les Aubes brumeuses. The character of Marie-Ève represents an intellectual, even civilisational crossbreeding of two distinct universes, which constitute a visionary world in full contradiction and a perfect fictional plot. The reader, for his part, recognises in the conflicting identity position of the textual character, through his interpretation, a hard passage to another reality that leads to true human recognition. A recognition that goes beyond the boundaries of prejudice towards a decolonial cultural synthesis of the imaginary. In this study, then, we are dealing with a type of identity that claims to know the truth in the Western way while underestimating the cultures of others under the pretext of rationalism, but within a literary perspective, which contributes to acquiring a new sense of life for the character and the reader's vision; a particular vision of an African realism.
