Bipolarity, duality and oppositions in the Dream of the celt, by Mario Vargas Llosa
Abstract
Vargas Llosa distinguishes the fictitious reality for what he names binary logic, bipolarity or game of double examinations. Everything that exists doubles in image, often as parody or caricature. This happens in “The dream of the Celt”, where his author shows us the multiple, contradictory, ambiguous and delirious faces of reality. The novel touches the topics of the jungle, the insurgency, the nationalism, the excesses of power or the conflicts between civilization and barbarism or the primitivism and the modernity. In this game of multiple and opposite perspectives, we will analyze, first, the one that we consider to be the most important, this is, the fact that it concerns the life of the own Casement, which fluctuates between the reality and illusion, the ideal conscience and the degraded one. Likewise we will study the contradiction between the public and the private, the paradoxical conceptions of conceiving the colonization, the barbarism, the civilization, the city or the field.Downloads
