Isabel Allende/If You Touched My Heart
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that analyzes Allende's poignant short story of self-centered evil and retribution, "If You Touched My Heart." The writer argues that this is a fable that offers a complex morality tale, which works on many levels of understanding. It concerns Amadeo Peralta, an amoral man who treats a young girl, Hortensia, in an abominable fashion that ignores her humanity. An examination of the symbolism, imagery and themes of this complex narrative demonstrates how Allende conceives of evil as something apart from consciousness. It does not matter that Hortensia does not conceive of her fate as evil. It nevertheless comes back in a full karmic circle to ensnare Peralta in precisely the same circumstances that Hortensia suffered. No additional sources cited.

Isabel Allende: Magical Realism
[ send me this paper ]
Isabel Allende's work contains magical realism to heighten the reality in her novels. Allende says there is “a fundamental difference between imagination and fantasy. Fantasy is made up of fairytales, which do not have a basis in real life. Imagination is the exaltation of reality.” (Zapata-Whelan). Her books have “elements of imagination” such as “gross exaggeration” and “recurrent use of premonition, of coincidence” (Zapata-Whelan), and hyperbole, events that don’t occur in real life – all technical elements of magical realism. Explored via critics, text and Allende interviews are Of Love and Shadow, Paula and My Invented Country. Bibliography lists 8 sources. jvAllnde.rtf

Jorge Luis Borges' "Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius"
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Jorge Luis Borges' Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius can readily be interpreted as a piece of speculative fiction focused most prominently upon reflecting the parabolic aspects of Berkeleian idealism. Discovering a once-upon-a-time existence where materialism has no place, Borges' protagonist brings this reality full circle when, upon recreating this other world's history, culture and languages, the actual world in which he lives begins to adopt such principles. Indeed, the fundamental purpose of this story is to ponder various philosophical themes and questions, which one might readily equate with a number of Freudian theories, not the least of which include his dream theory. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Jose Enrique Rodo’s “Ariel”
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses the novel written in 1900 (and translated to English in 1988) “Ariel” by the Uruguayan writer, philosopher, and political activist, Jose Enrique Rodo (1872-1917). Although the novel is ostensibly a work of fiction, it is also an allegory or a treatise on the relationships that existed between North-Central-and South America at the turn of the 20th century. Just as Shakespeare’s own Ariel in “The Tempest” causes the audience or reader to reconsider their assumptions regarding the reality of those who want to present themselves as the standards of power, Rodo’s “Ariel” causes readers to reconsider the various power bases -- economic, social, cultural -- that exist between modern Latin America (Ariel) and the controlling and demanding United States (Prospero). Bibliography lists one source.
