Resumen
JIMENEZ TOBON, Juan Carlos. SUICIDE AND SURVIVALIN JUAN CARLOS ONETTI’S «EL POSIBLE BALDI», «BIENVENIDO, BOB» AND CUANDO ENTONCES. Linguist.lit. [online]. 2016, n.70, pp.121-133. ISSN 0120-5587. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.lyl.n70a05.
In Juan Carlos Onetti’s work, there are two kinds of characters: suicidal characters and survivors. This article studies the reasons why the Uruguayan writer built his work through this contrast game in three of his short stories: «El posible Baldi», «Bienvenido, Bob» and Cuando entonces, and how this is related to French writer, Albert Camus’ the Mythe de Sisyphe. Under this premise: suicidal characters are often associated with defeated beings while survivors shape their own salvation because they discover inhabitants from an absurd world.
