Superstition and Weird Fiction: conformation elements at El amor no tiene cura, by Bernardo Esquinca
Keywords:
Supernatural., Symbolic charge, Narrative., Atmosphere., Superstition.Abstract
Superstition is a cultural element that permeates through the exercise of Mexican fantasy literature. At the same time, Weird Fiction acquires a main relevance to support the narrative action. In the work of Bernardo Esquinca, the rupture of natural laws is caused by the supernatural event detonated by superstition. For this reason, superstition carries the whole unit of the short-tale. In the same way, the characteristics of Weird Fiction feed the textual corpus giving rise to an interdependent relationship between both elements, which guarantees the narrative effects and makes it sustainable.
