LOPEZ VERA, Elvia Estefanía. ENCOUNTER OF WORDS: LITERARY ANALYSIS OF THE STORY SOBRE LAS PLUMAS DEL PAVO, BY AGUSTIN MONSREAL. Linguist.lit. [online]. 2019, n.76, pp.140-152. ISSN 0120-5587.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.lyl.n76a07.

The literary analysis of the story Sobre las plumas del pavo, by the Mexican writer Agustín Monsreal, is proposed. The technique of literary portraiture is studied through the composite words, which synthesize elements of prosopography and ethopreia in the configuration of the two protagonists. Then, it emphasizes the interaction of the characters, in order to dominate the other. This power struggle underpins the narrative’s dialectic between desire and rejection, expectation and reality, encounter and disagreement, and growth and annihilation.
