CASE STUDY: MARLENE'S STORY

This essay carries out an epistemological analysis based on a case study, Marlene's Story, in which it seeks to interpret the ways in which knowledge and its aspects of conventionalism have been imposed on human beings, without allowing them to discuss their meanings for life and existence. Its scientific relevance lies in the fact that it explores knowledge from a deeper perspective, in which the episteme itself explains its potential for empirical learning. Its social relevance lies in providing the general public with the opportunity to have knowledge discussed in its most compelling aspects. This is a bibliographical study, based on the analysis of a case, in which the characters assume metaphorical conditions of existence, allowing them to be studied in terms of what they think and their respective living conditions, whether embracing or denying them, in their essence. Marlene is the authentic representation of the human being. Divided between Physis and Nomós , between being and ought to be, being in itself and being for itself. Eternally condemned to not knowing who she really is; an undefined being who tries, in her own way of being and existing, to define herself. What we can conclude is that knowledge and ignorance have been in conflict since the most remote times and in all cultures there are countless stories told, in the form of mythologies, about how these two instances fight and, to the astonishment of the most unsuspecting, everything ends in misfortune for those who dare to know, who defy fate and seek to escape the darkness of ignorance.
