Una nueva perspectiva del erotismo y de la metamorfosis en la novela siete lunas y siete serpientes

Abstract

Abstract: The novel Siete lunas y siete serpientes is analyzed from a new perspective of eroticism and metamorphosis, since according to Octavio Paz eroticism is sex, but it does not seek to procreate life, but rather aims at pleasure, which serves to establish the difference between eroticism, sensuality and sexuality. In addition, knowing that the work belongs to magical realism, it is vital to study magical events and fantasy that revolve around the legends, myths and coastal beliefs that Demetrio Aguilera Malta wishes to share. This is related to Todorov's affirmation when he says that metamorphoses are the basis of fantastic literature and this in the novel is complemented with zoomorphism to establish the relationship between human beings, animals and the meanings that transformations hold, since the environment and the events are studied, since the important thing is to understand the meaning of these elements and identify how and why they occur within the environment of Santorontón and what it causes in the characters.
