Dream, Poetry and Latin American Reality in Gabriel García Márquez’s Me alquilo para soñar
Keywords:
Recreation., Verisimilitude., Reader., Solitude., Europe.Abstract
The present article reviews the configuration of dream as the fantastic and poetry as another dimension of reality, in the short story “Me alquilo para soñar” by García Márquez. Three dimensions are highlighted in which three main characters are embodied: the life-dream, the life-poetry and the life-narrative, which share creation as a common foundation. The main objective is to demonstrate that the mechanism of creation is the same, the imaginative recreation, and to analyze the strategy of verisimilitude conjoining the perspective of the experience of the reader, in order to scrutinize the reality of Latin Americans who are presented to the reader in this short story.
