La castración como suicidio: Violencia encontrada en el cuento El cholo que se castró"

Abstract

Abstract:The Ecuadorian story El cholo que se castró is based on analyzing the reality and the importance of the great impact that this character has on society, the particularities that are so marked as are abuse and machismo where women have no rights. The cholo who castrated himself begins with abuse by the protagonist towards a woman. But the story of the difference in life that the character has is his origin, it leads him to carry out a series of abuses in the first instance with others, and at the end of the story against himself. This short story wants to show the reality of the cholo in the midst of society, with the sole purpose of making public the difference in life, customs and laws of his race. The methodology of this work has been based on the impact of suicide on the indicated work, on the comparative study of the work with the tragicomedy of La Celestina, and the concept of castration as suicide. We conclude that castration is the self-inflicted punishment by the protagonis.
