BASAURI MATA, Karen Lucero. Illness as a means of sublimating the female character in «Sala ambarina», by José María Eguren. Desde el Sur [online]. 2019, vol.11, n.2, pp.75-85. ISSN 2076-2674.  http://dx.doi.org/10.21142/DES-1102-2019-75-85.

The goal of this essay is to analyze the character of the sick woman in «Sala ambarina», a story in which the heroine is presented as weakened by illness, as an example of degenerated and idealized beauty. We will address the character traits of the woman, as a sick individual with a waxen face and melancholy aura. While it is not possible to identify a specific pathology afflicting the protagonist, her illness is used as a means of bringing about death and therefore the sublimation of the character.

Palavras-chave : Peruvian literature; poetry; illness; Eguren.
