Death in Horacio Quiroga work.
“No escribas bajo el imperio de la emoción. Déjala morir y evócala luego. Si eres capaz entonces de revivirla tal cual fue, has llegado en arte a la mitad del camino” Horacio Quiroga
According to the book Latin American Short Story by Roberto Gonzalez Echevarria states that Horacio Quiroga had a very difficult life, his life revolved on death. Quirogas father was killed in a hunting accident and his stepfather committed suicide and if that wasn’t enough his wife committed suicide and then he commits suicide too, how was ill with cancer at the time. His fascination with morbid states of mind and the deterious effect of nature on the individual are topic of the period, and is not difficult to see in some of his stories the influence of Edgar Allan Poe. Mostly everything he know was death, his love one all died so this was reflected in his stories. Quiroga was an amazing writer his stories can be manifested in horror movies. His way of writing was to an extent that when you are reading his story you can feel the pain that the characters are feeling a...

In Mario Suarez’s essay “El Hoyo” it is mainly about a small section of the city of Tucson. It is the area that has been inhabited by Chicanos. The term chicano is the short way of saying Mexicano. Suarez explains the good and the bad about El Hoyo. He says that he does not understand why people come back to El Hoyo, but there is something unexplainable about it that it does. It is possibly the human kindness of El Hoyo that brings people back.
Through the study of the Peruvian society using articles like “The “Problem of the Indian...” and the Problem of the Land” by Jose Carlos Mariátegui and the Peruvian film La Boca del Lobo directed by Francisco Lombardi, it is learned that the identity of Peru is expressed through the Spanish descendants that live in cities or urban areas of Peru. In his essay, Mariátegui expresses that the creation of modern Peru was due to the tenure system in Peru and its Indigenous population. With the analyzation of La Boca del Lobo we will describe the native identity in Peru due to the Spanish treatment of Indians, power in the tenure system of Peru, the Indian Problem expressed by Mariátegui, and the implementation of Benedict Andersons “Imagined Communities”.
It is possible to divide the critics into two camps regarding Herman Melville's purpose in writing "Benito Cereno." Joseph Schiffman, Joyce Adler, and Sidney Kaplan all argue that Melville wrote the story to make a comment on slavery. On the other hand, Sandra Zagarell and Allan Emery contend that Melville goes beyond slavery and is pointing out other flaws in mid Nineteenth century American notion.
Gabriel García Márquez story, Big Mama's Funeral, is a story filled with fantastical scenes and events much in line with Don Quixote and Candide. The introductory paragraphs of Big Mama's Funeral and Candide sound so similar in voice the two authors could be mistaken for the same. In Candide, one finds a series of episodes that are so far from the truth and yet perfectly explainable. The story of the fate of Dr. Pangloss, the death and resurrection of Cunegund and of her Jesuit brother, and the story of the old woman with one buttock are farcical in the same way as the episodes in Big Mama's Funeral. In Don Quixote, we find a man, for the most part average, who wishes to become a knight-errant. In his quest is as series of happenings so ridiculous they are nothing short of tabloid-style sensationalism, or drug induced hallucinations.
The film “La Ciociara” is a wartime portrayal of citizens in Italy. “La Ciociara” begins with the two women, Rosetta and her mother, Cerisa, who are in the city of Rome when a bomb goes off. The historical context of the bomb is the Allied bombing of Rome during World War II. During World War II, Italy joins Germany part of the Axis powers to fight against the Allies. In the reading by Merriman on WWII, we learn that, “Benito Mussolini had already signed a pact with Hitler on October 1936 forming what the Italian dictator called an ‘Axis’” (Merriman, 1050). This pact would soon serve importance between the two sides that formed during the global war that spread on an “unprecedented scale” (Merriman, 1065). The film takes place while Europe is an uncontrolable battleground of WWII. At the beginning of the film, Rosetta is scared because of the violence of war and she she is cries in her mother's arms. Subsequently, Cerisa declares that they will leave Rome to seek safety. Cerisa has her friend watch their house while she escapes Rome to find shelter
One of the first ways he applied his personal life was through the themes of the books. Three of themes that reoccur are death, alcoholism, and a guilty conscience. Death is used many times; an example would be in the book “The Fall of the House of Usher”. In this book a brother and a sister are plagued with dieses of the mind. In the end they both ironically die together. Also In the “Cask of Amontillado”, revenge was taken out on a man and he was then buried alive. A final example would be in “The Imp of the Perverse”; a man used a poisoned candle to kill what is thought to be a family member to inherit their land.
Edgar Allan Poe was known for his bizarre use of literature in his short stories such as The Black Cat, Tell-Tale Heart, and The Cask of Amontillado. As a matter of fact, they all share a similar dark theme with a twisted character that eventually kills off someone at the end of the story. As these stories build up the theme with the insane thoughts of the character it has proven to the reader how creative yet sane Poe was in real life and how he demonstrates a person’s inner turmoil and fear that can drive a man insane. He also focused on his theme to be about death and how dark a person’s mental thought of being stable is. Although Mr. Poe made an astonishing use of this writing during the gothic period, it eventually brought these stories fame that is still used and known in today’s time frame.
Thesis: Cervantes shows a major shift on role reversal, the emphasis on wealth and deemphasis of romance.
Themes of Cervantes’ Don Quixote Miguel de Cervantes’ greatest work, The Ingenious Gentleman, Don Quixote De La Mancha, is a unique book of multiple dimensions. From the moment of its creation, it has amused readers, and its influence has vastly extended in literature throughout the world. Don Quixote is a county gentleman disillusioned by his reading of chivalric romances, who rides forth to defend the oppressed and to right wrongs. Cervantes presented the knight-errant so vividly that many languages have borrowed the name of the hero as the common term to designate a person inspired by magnificent and impractical ideals. Cervantes’ theme throughout the novel is consistent and straightforward.
Garcia Lorca’s poem carries us all through the tragedy, to the bitter resolution. He paints us a morbid, cold but memorable scene of the death of Ignacio, while showing honesty in his feeling towards his beloved friend’s death. He refused to accept the bullfighter’s death at first, refusing to gaze upon his blood. But through this refusal he recounted the many wonders of his friend, which guided him to eventually look upon the body. As he does so, he ponders the mystery of death, and with the idea of death you will become nothing but a distant memory, and eventually be forgotten. But in Lorca’s final protest, or resolution, he accepts he will always carry his memory will him, and sing his name, giving him a permanent form that death cannot conquer.
Romance de la Pena Negra (Ballad of the Black Sorrow) was written by Lorca on the 30. July 1924 (Catedra:80). It was one of a collection of poems he entitled the Romancero Gitano (Gypsy Ballads) that, when published, was a huge success, among academics and the general public alike, making this book one of his most well known pieces of work. There are many reasons why the poems received such wide acclaim in terms of Lorca’s wider audience: It is clear that the ballad, with its simple, eight-syllable line rhyming structure makes for uncomplicated reading, in addition, the subject matter would have sparked general interest due to the mysterious nature of its gypsy protagonists, who had popularised the flamenco arts at the end of the 19th century, yet inspired a mixture of fear, loathing and admiration in Spain that all Spaniards would have recognised. The universal content of the poems is another reason for their popularity, they are rich in natural imagery, the moon, the sea and the mountains all appear frequently, as do themes of love, sexuality and death, making the poems easily accessible to all readers on a basic level.
Edgar Allan Poe is regarded as one of the most famous writers of all time. He is known for his sinister and horrific tales and his seemingly pessimistic view on life. This overwhelming theme is rarely questioned by other writers and fans alike because of his personal tragedies; it is only fitting that a man as disturbed as Poe would write such troubled stories. It is common knowledge to most that Poe had a heartrending life; he lost his biological mother, adoptive mother, and wife all before he went to college. Poe used the tragic premature endings of his family members as inspiration to write his trademark literature, lengthy eloquent works revolving around fatality. It is atypical for one of his stories to not mention death in one way or another. In each of his stories, Poe talks about death in a different way. In two of his most famous works, “The Tell-Tale Heat” and “The Pit and Pendulum”, both of the main characters act differently towards death. By adding variety to his characters’ reactions, Poe shows the reader that while death is universal, the way each person deals with it is unique. However, the repetitive theme of death makes Poe appear as a single-minded writer to many of his readers, only able to focus on the negative aspects of life. However, if one looks more closely at “The Tell-Tale Heart” and “the Pit and Pendulum” one sees otherwise; while both clearly express the impending nature of death through different symbols and imagery, both subtly show that even when life is filled with darkness, there is always light, showing that while Poe was a dark and troubled man, he was always hopeful something positive was going to occur.
