The fruit metaphor and other love images in Jacinto Octavio Picón’s narrative
Keywords:
Jacinto Octavio Picón, Sweet and Delectable, images of love, realist naturalist narrative.
Abstract
Love, and its implications of all kind, constitutes one of the core themes of Jacinto Octavio Picón’s narrative production, present primarily in his masterpiece Sweet and Delectable, but also in some other novels and several short stories. Despite his manifestations in favor of a direct and explicit representation of the erotic relationship, the author captures it with a rich and varied imagery, which does not only include the fruit metaphor implicit in the title of the mentioned novel’s, but many others —flower, food, war, book…— that are studied in the coming pages.Downloads
