Quite enlightening, @nancybriti, and more for me who had had a most bitter experience in reading Rómulo Gallego's work when I was in High School (An episode involving Canaima, which I learned to love afterwards—along with all I got to read from this marvelous author). R.G. is no doubt one the most relevant Latin-American authors in the XX century, and of course, one prolific Venezuelan humanist.
Your article makes me realize, for I have not done it before, that Rómulo Gallegos was probably acquainted with the works by Freud and Jung. I’ll see what I can find about it. The way he picks the conflicts his narrative will develop and how he establishes the nature of his characters make me believe so; well, it’s either that, or he was even smarter than we think.
Nice read for me, and for anyone who wants to learn about human relationships and literature! Thanks ☻♥
