La naturaleza viva en las Soledades de Góngora. Uso de la metáfora

Abstract

The aim of this article is to detail and enrich the stylistic study that surrounds the work of the Spanish poet Luis de Góngora. The metaphor of the baroque period has been studied by several literary critics and in the work of different poets, but it is very clear that Gongora’s style is superior, in a certain way, to that of his
contemporaries. That is why we dedicate this study to examine the characteristics that determine his mastery and, in a more accurate way, to analyze in which way the metaphor not only “transfers images” but also vitalizes and attributes actions and human feelings to the natural environments that surrounds the characters.
