(2023) ÄSPD04 20212Spanish Studies
- Abstract (Spanish)
- El presente trabajo presenta una investigación en torno al escritor mexicano Carlos Fuentes a través de tres textos literarios: Aura (1962), “Las dos Elenas” (Cantar de ciegos: 1964) y “La muñeca reina” (Cantar de ciegos: 1964).

Las conclusiones afirman que el doble desempeña un papel importante en los tres textos... (More)

Las conclusiones afirman que el doble desempeña un papel importante en los tres textos estudiados, pero puede ser explícito (el doble se nota tanto por los personajes como por el lector) o implícito (el doble debe ser interpretado por el lector). El doble puede explicarse por la obsesión de desear una imagen propia idealizada como en Aura, puede reflejar dos fuerzas opuestas como en “Las dos Elenas”, o puede contribuir con una sensación siniestra como en “La muñeca reina”.

- Abstract
- This paper presents an investigation that revolves around the Mexican writer Carlos Fuentes through three literary texts: Aura (1962), "Las dos Elenas" (Song of the Blind: 1964) and "La muñeca reina" (Song of the Blind: 1964). The concept under study is the double, a well-established phenomenon in literature, which often appears as a motive or theme in literary works. This essay aims to shed light on the field of application of the double through the particular analysis of a Latin American author. This application turns out to be broad, as it can be presented with different meanings and functions, even within the same author. The conclusions affirm that the double plays an important role in the three texts studied, but it can be explicit... (More)

The double can be explained by the obsession of desiring an idealised self-image as in Aura, it can reflect two opposing forces as in "The Two Elenas", or it can contribute to a sinister feeling as in "The Queen Doll".
