Time, Space and environment

leonardoalainvasquezgarcia — 2021-05-27 22:42:07 UTC

The external or historical time in which the story is situated is the contemporary time of the author.
The internal time (the time of the narrative) occupies three months, between November and March, that is, between the end of autumn and the beginning of spring. Occasional allusions to meteorological weather, from the winter rains that are announced at the beginning of the play to the spring day at the end, contextualize the action in a cloudy and rainy winter.
And the chronological order that the story follows is linear, with several ellipsis that contribute to the agility of the narrative. Furthermore, in the psychological time of the character, memories and evocations (analepsis or retrospections) and some projection into the future (prolepsis or anticipations) are frequent.
In terms of space, the interior spaces dominate: dining room, kitchen, Gregorio's room. The latter is transformed in parallel to the mutation of the character, since the micro-space in which the protagonist lives in seclusion adapts to his new reality. In addition, Gregorio's room is perceived differently by the characters: for the protagonist it becomes a refuge and his family transforms it into a prison. In any case, it is a place identified with marginalization, isolation and concealment.
