Análisis de los rasgos fantásticos en los textos Se busca Papá Noel, se busca príncipe azul; Fantasmas a domicilio; Amigo se escribe con H y Hola ! Andrés, soy María otra…, de María Fernanda Heredia, en el marco del género fantástico, según la clasificación de Tzvetan Todorov

Abstract

This work focuses on the analysis of four stories by María Fernanda Heredia: Se busca Papá Noel, se busca príncipe azul (Looking for Santa Claus, Looking for Prince Charming); Fantasmas a domicilio (Ghosts at Home); Amigo se escribe con H (Amigo is Written with an H); y Hola Andrés, soy María otra vez… (Hello, Andres, It’s María Again…), from the perspective of the fantastic elements. Within the theoretical framework, the concepts of fiction, authenticity, truth, and literary reality are defined, before presenting the ideas espoused by a selection of important theorists of fantasy literature, with emphasis on the literary theory of Tzvetan Todorov. With the analysis of these works, I propose to unravel the internal construction that permits things that are impossible or improbable in the real world to operate in a plausible way in literary reality, both fantastic and marvelous.
