Resumo
This article examines the use of irony in El eterno femenino as a means to contest the perpetuation of repressive and limiting social constructions. Castellanos’ text presents the reader with a long series of vignettes that portray the impossibility of dialogue, and thus creation, between the sexes. It is precisely via the repetition of frustrated (and frustrating) encounters, however, that Castellanos attempts to combat the recurrence of the eternal feminine dilemma. Because the absence of equality among the textual interlocutors produces automatic and sterile utterances, Castellanos ends each act of her play with a direct appeal to the reader/spectator –All items © The Center of Latin American Studies and Caribbean Studies, The University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas 66045, U.S.A.
