Dolores Ventimilla y el Tránsito Lírico entre El Anhelo, Dolor y Rebeldía Plasmado en su Poesía

Abstract

Abstract: This research analyzes the poetry of Dolores Veintimilla de Galindo through the thematic axes of longing, pain, and rebellion, with the aim of understanding how these elements shape her lyrical voice within the context of 19th-century Ecuadorian Romanticism. The study explores the historical and social framework of the era a period characterized by severe restrictions on women s participation. Furthermore, it examines poems such as "Quejas" and "Anhelo," as well as the work "Necrología," employing a qualitative approach based on literary and interpretive textual analysis. The objective is to identify how the author transforms her personal experiences of pain, melancholy, and the pursuit of independence into poetic expression. The findings demonstrate that her work not only reflects a Romantic sensibility marked by introspection and emotion but also serves as a form of symbolic resistance against the patriarchal norms of her time. Consequently, the poetry of Dolores Veintimilla stands as an early manifestation of the affirmation of female subjectivity within Ecuadorian literature.
