Estudio de los personajes femeninos y su dimensión psicológica en la novela El teatro de los monstruos de Viviana Cordero

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this essay is to shed light on the psychological dimensions of the female characters in Viviana Cordero's novel El Teatro de los monstruos. This story is woven mostly in Quito around their transition on an individual and social level. Each character has a unique perspective of themselves, their environment, and their interaction with it, in this way, they discover their psychological dimension and the relationship they establish with those around them. An analysis of Electra and Milena was made from the following aspects: ambitions, frustrations, personality, self-esteem, charisma, an arc of transformation, virtues and defects, sexual life, affectivity, morality, superstitions, imagination, and intelligence; to make known the different points of view of the characters in the dialogues or monologues on each of these dimensions. It is concluded that Quito's society follows some canons of sharing that respond to the different social classes and from which its protagonists can hardly escape because they are part of a framework in which they must play a role.
