Abstract

The unquestionable prestige of Amparo Dávila is framed in the fantastic literature, because a huge part of her tales has qualities of this genre. However, in our study, we voluntarily quit to consider her literature from the perspective of this fantastic genre, instead to attend the way as she addressed the characteristics of her female and male characters, and their life In those modest and conventional stages of the domestic and labor life that are lived every day, her characters suffered personal secrets that drive them to behavior and radical decisions. In Amparo Davila’s literature, nothing that is described is supernatural or extraordinary; on the contrary, it is the recreation of day by day of common characters that are in front of the tic tac of the rutine who suffers the worst misery, to live; some of them fight and overcome, others succumb.
