Journal: | http://hdl.handle.net/10316.2/40906 | Abstract: | This article focuses on Purgatorio (2006), a play by Ariel Dorfman
that revises the Medea and Jason myth. After a brief description of the play, this
study analyses the most significant aspects of its treatment as “extended myth” and
“subverted myth”, and its metafictional character; it also compares this play with
other contemporary rewrites of the myth. Thus, we aim to show that the purpose
of Purgatorio is to inquire into the psychological mechanisms that determine our
emotional relationships and the way we suffer and forgive the violence that we exert
over each other. El presente trabajo se centra en la obra de Ariel Dorfman Purgatorio (2006) como reescritura del tema mítico de Medea y Jasón. Tras una breve descripción de la obra, se analizan los aspectos más significativos de su tratamiento como “mito prolongado”, “mito subvertido”, y por último, sus elementos de carácter metaficcional, al tiempo que se compara con otras reescrituras contemporáneas. Todo ello permite comprender que la finalidad de Purgatorio es la indagación en los mecanismos psicológicos que determinan nuestras relaciones emocionales y la manera en que asumimos y perdonamos la violencia que ejercemos los unos sobre los otros. |
