Abstract

Abstract: The paper´s aim is to analyse the syphilis presence and consequences in three characters of the Spanish literature: Lozana (La lozana andaluza, 1528), Maxi Rubín (Fortunata y Jacinta, 1887) and Max Estrella (Luces de Bohemia, 1920). The common point is based on three features in order to give coherence and cohesion to the studied books at the thematic and temporal level: the grotesque setting to create a portrays the vicissitudes and characterisation for the syphilis sufferer, the relevance of disease effects at the plot, and how his symptoms connect with the final disillusionment of the characters. In this way this critical interpretation seeks to reform and reinforce the symbolic plane through the truthful repercussions this illness has on the characters actions.
