The Monsters in the Horacio Quiroga’s Narrative

Abstract

The monsters in Quiroga are product of the feverish creation of a writer who constructs, in the happening of his characters, subjugated to an environment that asphyxiates them, in a world of disillusion, pain, death, suffering, thirst, anguish. Reading Quiroga's narrative is finding those metaphoric monsters that point out the difficult and ungrateful life that, sometimes, in each of them, holds, limits and reminds them their own smallness.
