Bitter Taste In Mouth After Fever

and nothing behind the mirror.


Esperpento
The definition of the genuine creation of Ramón María del Valle-Inclan, appears in the dialogue of two characters in the play:

MAX: "The ultraists are frauds. The Goya has forged esperpentismo. Classical heroes have gone for a walk in the Alley Cat. DON LATINO: - You are completely Kurdish! MAX - Classical heroes reflected in the concave mirrors give Esperpento. The tragic sense of English life can only come with a beauty systematically distorted.

does away Valley English drama with this work that revolutionizes the basis of gender. First things first.

1 - In classical tragedy, the heroes are seen as being admirable, in the realistic theater, are presented as equals to the author and the viewer; Valley looks on as if in height, ie, distant.

2 - The main characters or heroes, dealing with his presence the whole work. Luces de Bohemia, the protagonist dies at the scene 13, but the work continues until 15.

3 - The characters are all despicable, including the protagonist himself, who accepts money from his former friend the minister "on behalf of two women in need", but then you spend with your partner on the town. Figures Only
his wife and daughter, the Catalan workers imprisoned and later executed, and the mother who mourns the death of his son by the police, show a dignity that is beyond mediocrity and the baseness of this world-inclaniano valley.

4-The author's annotations to the description and staging beyond the conventional, reaching an extraordinary level of literary quality. For example:


SCENE II

Zarathustra's cave in the parapet of the Councils. Piles of rubble and books do cover the walls. Papering the four panes of a four chrome door lurid soap opera serials. Gathering in the cave have a cat, a parrot, the dog and the bookseller, Zarathustra, Abich and hunchback-face rancid bacon and green scarf snake, promotes, with its characterization of the puppet, a very sharp and painful dissonance emotional and very modern Shrunk the ball broke a chair dwarf with foot entrapped and Cepón brazier on stage, save the store. A mouse gets the intriguing nose through a hole.

There are details here that are not typical of a conventional introduction to a theatrical scene. The audience, from a certain row, are not authorized to view "the four picture cards of a lurid soap opera serials" papering the door of the store. The "face of rancid bacon and green scarf snake" descriptions are poetic and symbolic interpretation overloaded with a richness that goes beyond the senses. Is also invisible to the viewer away from the mouse that "brings out the intriguing nose through a hole."


Aesthetics of tragedy.

Despite the smile to surface in the face of caricatures and situations Luces de Bohemia, is the smile (and even less laughter), which completes the catharsis of humor, good humor. It is a humorous one, bitter, harsh, disguised and distorted, yes, but it's like a bad-tasting medicine diluted in a glass of water. Under

deformation of Spain presents Valley, lies a fierce critique, a visceral rejection to the country's situation, given the intellectual and human misery of its inhabitants, from the prostitute to the Minister, where the only ones who deserve to be called worthy, suffer and are killed. This critique of reality, reaches its rawest exhibition, dialogue between fourteenth gravediggers scene: a gravedigger

.- This subject was a man of the pen. OTHER
Gravedigger .- Poor funeral has been!
a gravedigger .- The papers they put a man of merit. OTHER
Gravedigger .- In Spain, the merit is not rewarded. Rewarding stealing and being shameless. In Spain, everything bad is rewarded.
a gravedigger .- Do not put things so black!

But yes, we must make it so black and so exaggerated as the image returned by the distorting mirrors (dark "?) Alley Cat, because as noted by Max Valle Estrella,
The tragic sense of life English can only come with a beauty systematically distorted. And even could, on today and with the perspective of years, replacing terms and conditions translate to recognize that in our present, there is still much darkness, shade, and even persists and does not dissipate because the dim lights just enough of a bohemian life that resist in the trenches and barricades (Don Quixote and Max Estrella, Sancho Panza and Don Latino: a comparison in which depth).

What Wax Strips Can You Use For Genitals?

obsessions, addictions and FATAL.

"A woman's soul trapped in the body of a man," he said at the meeting. It comes in the prologue the thesis that screened at Lorca Yerma its impotence to conceive a child. Transposes the matter to the figure of woman willing to motherhood, whose husband does not satisfy his desire, but at the same time unable to transgress the bounds of strict morality that prevails in the rural world, and yet, so hypocritical is violated under the veneer of alleged miracles of the saint.

To Yerma, infidelity is not an option, or the abandonment of her husband. Does not love, is a husband and accepted tax. His passion is to another man, but half an invisible border between dark values \u200b\u200bconstructed with a black Spain. Neither man seems very inclined to take a step in the direction in which it encourages Yerma watch. All men of the work, always appear through the lens of women. There is never a dialogue scene between two men without the presence of a woman, Yerma. Yerma

certainly is a character exaggerated, led to a situation whose solution does not consent obsession. He refuses to infidelity to that provided other persons, defends his honor and fidelity to her husband, but refuses to accept his fate as a woman without children and is enclosed in a maze of obsession and rage that has a tragic center. JA rightly said Carmona, who is mentally ill Yerma, a depressive addicted, not only torments himself with the situation, but does not opt \u200b\u200bfor a way out. If your desire was to be a mother, mother would be happier being alone than married to a husband gives disappointing but not frustration.

Parliaments of Yerma, are written by a being who obviously I felt so intimate femininity. We talked about Lorca and Almodovar, his choice and preference for women as protagonists. Yerma words sonpoesía Sombol talking about what is hidden deep in women, in line with the words of Nietzsche in Thus Spoke Zarathustra "all the woman has only one solution: the pregnancy." Today, that statement seems a little pilgrim, given the way of life achieved in our welfare society in which having a child has become (in the opinion of many) in a luxury. Is it really a luxury or an inability to have children, or have we reached that stage of society whose living it bring out the selfishness and the refusal to deliver time and sacrifice for them?

In biology, the K strategy is that a species living in harsh conditions for survival, the level of birth to ensure their survival. In most developed countries, the reverse happens, and this is part, among other things, the phenomenon of immigration. In Spain, if you go further, the daily population ages and fewer children are born. The woman, wanting to legitimately achieve equality with men, agrees or attempts to enter the labor market. Having children is an impediment. By contrast, in rural Spain of Yerma, women are assigned a role in stone. Keep house, have children (future workers) and care. The failure to achieve this objective, biological and existential failure becomes in the mind of the protagonist, and his inability to break the rules or your state obsessive addiction, or both, is carried end to the cause she believed to be responsible his failure as a woman-mother. Thus, the murder of her husband, is an image that symbolizes the strength of a woman hit in his obsession physically succeeding conviction of his will, against a man who is a symbol of masculinity inert, stunned by the unexpected. Nietzsche also said that men should fear women, because this is able to do anything for love, even love for the unborn child.
