Juan Rulfo, Crossroads, Myth, HermesAbstract
The work of Juan Rulfo synthesizes the reality of the Mexican countryside, it captures the contour of individual identities and of the structure of social interaction in the world that so worried him, and of which he is an undisputed interpreter; but he also knew how to convert into narrative material those atmospheres that exceed the Mexican and social context. In this paper I will address the issue of crossroads in the symbolic imaginary of Pedro Páramo (1955) as an expression of a reworking of the myth of Hermes, I will analyze how Juan Rulfo ́s novel shows these hermetic echoes and the aesthetic and sociocultural sense that this mythic resonance has.
