Abstract

NITRIHUAL VALDEBENITO, Luis Alejandro. Approaches at the study of passion in Jorge Luis Borges' work. Doubt and hopelessness in El Muerto. Folios [online]. 2011, n.33, pp.127-139. ISSN 0123-4870.

The following work investigates two passions -doubt and hopelessness- in the tale El Muerto, which belongs to the book El Aleph by Jorge Luis Borges. Our theoretical framework is Paolo Fabbri's and Aljirdes Greimas' works about passion and narrativity theory. In order to do this, we have used Greimas' methodology on actantial model, which is a fundamental component to determine how a passion is declared in the textual level.

Keywords : Borges; passion; doubt; hopelessness.
