Abstract
En la novela
La ciudad y los perros
(1963), del
escritor peruano mario Vargas Llosa, se muestra
el desbalance que se genera en los cadetes del
Colegio militar Leoncio Prado que se dedican a
estudiar enfáticamente (como ocurre con el caso
del
esclavo): conduce a la envidia de quienes do-
minan poco alguna materia, además de que los
maestros no apoyan su educación.
un aconteci
-
miento similar es cuando se origina lo opuesto: no
se proyecta un buen porvenir en quien no estudia
(caso del Jaguar).
sin embargo, pasa algo parti-
cular con este protagonista: no necesitó ir a una
cárcel luego de haber asesinado al
esclavo para
reflexionar
sobre su vida, bastó con que se le brin-
dara la oportunidad de aprovechar su existencia
en hacer buenas obras para su reivindicación.
esa
posibilidad lo configura como un personaje más
civilizado y ético.
In the novel The Time of the Hero (1963), Peru- vian writer mario Vargas Llosa, shows the imba - lance that is generated in the cadets of the Leon- cio Prado military academy that are dedicated to study emphatically (as in the case of the slave): it leads to the envy of those who dominate a few subjects, in addition to the fact that the teachers do not support their education. a similar event is when the opposite happens: no hope is seen in those who do not study (case of the Jaguar). However, something special happens with this protagonist: he did not need to go to a prison after having killed the Slave to reflect on his life, it was enough to be given the opportunity to take advan- tage of his existence in doing good works for his vindication. That possibility it configures him as a more civilized and ethical character.
