The Coup: Torture Of The Chilean People As It Relates To Paulina From Antonio Skarmeta's 'The Postman' And Mario From Ariel Dorfman's 'Death And The Maiden'
[ send me this essay ]
8 pages in length. The torture endured by the Chilean people at the hands of those who orchestrated the coup is undeniable. The military rebellion, which occurred in 1973 as a means by which to overthrow the democratically elected government established by Salvador Allende, was the cause of death and disappearance for thousands upon thousands of Chilean people. Even today, over one thousand individuals are still unaccounted for as a direct result of the torture that ensued. This unwarranted torment was documented in a number of literary writings, including Antonio Skarmeta's The Postman and Ariel Dorfman's Death and the Maiden, in which the characters of Paulina and Mario represent both the suffering and discovery that was apparent for those who were forced to endure such torture. The writer discusses how these two characters depict Chilean torture during the coup. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
