Soledad y Crisis Existencial en la obra El Túnel de Ernesto Sábato

Abstract

Abstract: AbstractThis essay addresses loneliness and existential crisis in the work El Túnel by Ernesto Sábato, where the causes that lead to his isolation, lack of communication and obsession are investigated. It analyzes how these emotions lead to a deep existential crisis, reflecting a life marked by loneliness and pessimism. Likewise, the character's motivations and the consequences of his internal struggle, a mind tormented by his own thoughts, are explored. This essay has double motivation. On the one hand, it aims to highlight the figure of this great writer. Furthermore, it was chosen because it is a profound and valuable work for those who are approaching literary criticism. A personal connection can be created with Castel's emotions. This analysis allowed us to reflect on complex human emotions and establish links with the interest of understanding how these experiences affect people at some point. The central thesis of the essay states that loneliness and lack of purpose can lead to distorting reality, generating destructive social dynamics for both individuals and those around them.
