Psicología y literatura: algunas reflexiones sobre Doña rosita la soltera de García Lorca

Introduction: This study presents one of the 20th century’s most original and complex figures, writer Federico García Lorca (1898-1936). Through an in-depth psychological analysis of Lorca’s poetics, particularly his drama Doña Rosita la Soltera, the study aims to show that the characters created by Lorca may represent fragmented aspects of his own personality that project themselves, even unconsciously, onto the narrative. Methodology: The approach is based on the Psychology of Art and Literature, as developed by Professor Antonio Fusco, which involves investigating the psychological motivations behind the author’s creation of specific characters and scenarios. Results: The analysis reveals the impact of key life episodes on García Lorca, profoundly influencing his thoughts and leading to a realistic and pessimistic worldview. Discussion: Critical interpretative reflections are provided throughout, exploring the thematic opposition of Eros and Thanatos as essential to Lorca’s narrative. Conclusions: The study concludes that Lorca’s personal experiences significantly shaped his worldview, rendering it fragile and deeply infused with a stark vision of reality.
