Main Article Content
Abstract
ABSTRACT: Our article, titled "The Polyphony in the Monologues of Tiempo de silencio by Luis Martín-Santos," aims to provide a descriptive analysis of the phenomenon of polyphony in monologues, as well as to explore how this polyphony contributes to the literary richness of the novel. The presence of monologues in Tiempo de silencio is distinctive, not only because they serve as a narrative device but also because they offer insights into the characters' inner thoughts, intimate reflections, and the convergence of multiple voices that create intricate architectures within the text. Therefore, we argue that Tiempo de silencio is a polyphonic work. Through the analysis of polyphonic monologues, we seek to observe and support the following hypothesis: the monologues crafted by Martín-Santos are vital elements that contribute to the construction of the novel's fictional universe. These monologues allow for a profound characterization of the novel's characters, as they reveal their inner conflicts, contradictions, frustrations, and moral turpitude. By delving into the polyphony of monologues, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the intricate psychological and emotional landscapes of the characters in Tiempo de silencio.
