Myth and Meaning According to Elena Garro. The Perception of the Feminine in Los perros

We present an interpretation of the play Los Perros by Elena Garro to relate the historical approach with the mythical foundation. We focus on the themes of male violence, female submission and social tolerance according to the reading of the myth of Demeter and Persephone and its referential value. In this way, we intend to expand the limit of sociological interpretation and follow the analogies established by the author with the Mesoamerican myth and with the Greek myth. The conclusion imposes the idea of a cosmic destiny that affirms the continuity of life.
