Un recorrido por los monstruos de Javier Tomeo
Keywords:
Javier Tomeo, monster, Spanish prose fiction, 20th century
Abstract
In his narrative, Javier Tomeo uses deformity in order to show the ability of humans to love monstrosity. A monster is a creature outside the norm, which violates the natural order and loving a monster implies an enhancement of our inner selves and a greater capacity for love. The aim of this article is to analyse the range of monsters in Javier Tomeo's work, proposing a classification for these beings according to their deformity and analyzing the main types of monsters that can be found in each of the proposed categories.Downloads
