SANTAMARIA, Dulce. Remarks on the archetype in Ednodio Quintero’s novel el combate: “El combate”, di Ednodio Quintero. Letras [online]. 2007, vol.49, n.75, pp.202-226. ISSN 2791-1179.

The main aim of this article is to show how a fictional reality is constructed in Ednodio Quintero’s El Combate. In this novel, the writer evidences a series of events which are part of a universal culture: the man’s origin that reproduces that of the universe, the presence of the hero, the prominence of the man-woman relationship... All these elements are nourished and rooted in the symbolic. Therefore, the theories of Psychoanalysis, of the eminent Viennese physician Sigmund Freud and his pupil Karl Gustv Jung, will support the analysis. El Combate, breaks into different fields, where the word is employed as a source gathering mythical and magic powers and dreams, the writer’s specialty, act as a resource for the rescue of unknown and hidden in the human being.
