Abstract

In the late nineteenth-century realism consolidates the development of fictional characters, but shortly after there is a turn in narrative to abstraction that induces Ortega y Gasset to reflect on what are the defining characteristics of a literary character. In Meditations on Quixote (1914), The Dehumanization of Art and Ideas on the novel (both from 1925) he makes a historical analysis that concludes with an assessment of contemporary literature. Many of the avant-garde narrators formed around him take into account his writings and experiment with his proposals. In this process, myth plays a major role, both as the poetic substance and as the cultural foundation of many of the protagonists of the experimental 20‟s novel.
