Monstruos de la razón. Alteración psíquica e indagación de la verdad en "La gota de sangre" de Emilia Pardo Bazán

Abstract

This study focuses on the short novel "La gota de sangre" by Emilia Pardo Bazán and reveals, together with complex metatextual coordinates, that enliven the debate about gender and about the truth narrated, substantial elements of empowerment and personal experimentation so that concerns the police narrative. As a 'black novel', the Pardo-Saxon story expresses the relativization of the social moral system, the debate about criminality connected with social factors and with the individual psychic alterations that society condemns as 'monstrous', and also proposes the founding metaphor of research as a necessary process of search for truth, in areas not always in accordance with rational logic and at different levels, without ever losing sight of the most intimate level of the subject's consciousness.
