Abstract
Un falso epígrafe, encontrado semioculto por una esclava en un
régimen totalitario
futurista, desencadena el leitmotiv principal de una rebelión s
ilenciosa en la novela
El cuento
de la criada
de Margaret Atwood (1985). Este es el modo en que se revela un
fondo de crítica
y reivindicación social y cultural mediante una inscripción en
latín macarrónico:
Nolite te
bastardes carborundorum.
Se señalan además otros lemas y grafi
tos “leídos” por una autora que,
siempre interesada por las trampas y vericuetos del lenguaje, j
uega con cierta frecuencia con el
falso literario epigráfi
co
A fake epigraph, found in a half-hidden wardrobe shelf by a sla ve woman in a futuristic totalitarian regime in the novel The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood (1985), unchains the main leitmotiv of a silent revolt. This way, it is revealed a b ackground of social and cultural criticism and vindication by means of an inscription written in dog-Latin: Nolite te bastardes carborundorum . Other slogans and graffi ti are also commented, these ones read by an author who, always interested by the traps of language, plays quite of ten with the false literary epigraph.
