Rosalía de Castro y las voces líricas de En las orillas del Sar

In this paper, we analyze some poems of En las orillas del Sar, in order to highlight the resources which dramatize the inner struggle of a problematic subject. We show that through some devices (such as multiperspectivism, irony and dialogue), the lyrical voice –floating through the literary atmosphere and influences of the time– represents the conflicting thoughts of a poetic “I” harassed by doubts, critically questioning and struggling between contrasting truths and dealing with the words of others.
