Intratextuality in The Time of the Hero with the Topic of Violent Protagonism in his Literary Works (1981-1993)

Abstract

 The category of intratextual analysis, which is developed by Jose Enrique Mar­tinez Fernandez, based on the finding of related elements in the artistic production of a sin­gle author, raises awareness of customary topics between The War of the End of the World (1981), The Young Lady of Tacna (1981), Kathie and the Hippopotamus (1983), History of Mayta (1984), Who Killed Palomino Molero? (1986), The Chunga (1986), The Storyteller (1987), In Praise of the Stepmother (1988) and Death in the Andes (1993) with the first novel written by Mario Vargas Llosa, The Time of the Hero (1963), which will be taken as a reference and main object of study. In order for the investigation to be relevant, modes were recognized subject to the frequent performance of violence in the plot of this narrative, such as the transformations of the characters, failed attempts to act in reality, their worldviews, the impediments to interacting effectively or imposed hierarchies forms of representation.
