Análisis de la novela Detrás de la ventana de Julia Veintimilla Jaramillo

Abstract

The novel Behind the Window of Julia Veintimilla has been written in the style of literary costumbrismo. Although this genre begins in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, however, the writer is responsible for narrating the typical customs of a city rich in traditions, which by the entrenched miscegenation make it a population that is distinguished by the Culture of its people. Julia Veintimilla tells the story of a pure love that lived through time and distance, and that only with death did their spirits meet and could enjoy that feeling. By telling the story of the life of one of the characters in the novel (Claudia) behind a window, it allows the reader's imagination to reflect what happens in a society where patriarchy prevails; likewise, the story is set in the unsurpassed beauty of the stately and enigmatic Zaruma, where the occupations and characteristics of the Zarumeños and the unsurpassed landscapes of the city are told.
