Resumen:
While literary texts may be regarded as possible, autonomous and selfsufficient worlds, they are somehow anchored into reality and life itself that allow us both to clarify subjective issues and fulfill emotional deficits. In a similar way, fictional characters help us to understand how other people’s minds work as well as our own life experiences and even our own acts and decisions. This paper stands that calculations and emotions are mixed up differently in each person, each situation and each social interaction. Juan Rulfo’s novel Pedro Páramo gives us a wide variety of examples showing that kind of mixture, notoriously seen in the characters that dare to balance their emotions regarding their specific economic, political and social conditions. Pedro Páramo could be seen as a paradigm of how destructive might be emotions like love, illusion, grief, fear, frustration, ambition, embedded in complex systems of ha-bits and beliefs like the ones that ruled in Mexico’s mid-20th Century. Not to mention that emotions are undoubtedly linked to propositional attitudes, ideas, prejudices, arguments and world’s visions. © 2017, Universidad de Concepcion. All rights reserved.
