Abstract


This study aims to examine the metaphorical use of disease in the narrative of Horacio Quiroga. It postulates that disease, far from being by accident or chance, expresses tha fatality that determines the life of his characters. Enigma, loneliness and exile are the subjects of the three stories wich are analysed, and wich materialise into organic or mental alterations, or a mixture of both. Similarly, as regards literature, tautology is avoided as new meanings to new readings are put forward.
