Comentario de un poema de Federico García Lorca

Abstract

The diverse operative phases of text commentary allow us to understand the poem “Caracola” from the book Canciones (1927) by Federico García Lorca, as a composition that strives to become a complex sign of totality. The technique to achieve this intention is the combination of heterogeneous realities, which allows us to see the interrelationship of the phenomena and their fundamental unit. “Caracola” and “corazón” are the structural centers of the text. From these centers an alternation of rhythms is projected that wraps the poem in that dynamics of expansion an retraction.
