Identifier	Thesis 1740
Author	Rodriguez, Andrea
Title	Trujillo en dos novelas latinoamericanas
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2003
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	The purpose of this thesis is to prove that La fiesta del chivo, written by Mario Vargas Llosa and En el tiempo de las mariposas, written by Julia Alvarez, clearly show the control that Rafael Trujillo Molina held over the Dominican Republic and its people throughout his thirty one years as dictator of that country. This presentation has been divided into four parts: the history of the Dominican Republic during the dictatorship of Trujillo, an evaluation of the existing literature that is about Latin-American dictators and dictatorships, and an evaluation of each of the two novels, La fiesta del chivo and En el tiempo de las mariposas. The first section of this thesis, that is the section about Dominican history during the years of the Trujillo dictatorship, begins with a description of the way in which Trujillo ascended to the position of dictator, the governmental structure during the dictatorship, and the types of control that Trujillo employed in order to maintain his control. These are followed by a description of Trujillo's personality and the effect of his personality of the Dominican people and the country in general. Next is a discussion of the international relations of the Dominican Republic during this time period. The section is concluded with a description of the subversive movements that formed during the Trujillo dictatorship and their efforts to carry out a coup. The second section of this thesis describes the progression of literature beginning with those novels written about Latin-American dictatorships and ending with those written about Latin-American dictators. The following novels have been included in this evaluation: 1) Facundo, by Sarmiento; 2) Tirano Banderas, by Valle-Inclan; 3) El Seor Presidente, by Asturias; and 4) La fiesta del chivo, by Vargas Llosa and En el tiempo de las mariposas by Alvarez. The third part of this thesis is an evaluation of La fiesta del chivo, in which the stories of Urania, Trujillo, and the revolutionaries have been analyzed separately. The story of Urania shows the way in which the politicians within the Trujillo government were victims of the whims and cruelty of Trujillo. Through the story presented by Trujillo himself, Vargas Llosa presents an accurate portrayal of Trujillo's personality and the way in which he reacted to opposing forces both in and outside of the country. The story of the revolutionaries and their reasons for participating in the assassination of Trujillo serves as a way to present the atrocities that many Dominicans suffered during the Trujillo regime. At the end of these analyses is a description of the treatment of women that is included in all three stories. That description is compared to the treatment of women during that time period as portrayed in historical documentation. The fourth part of this thesis, that which analyzes the novel En el tiempo de las mariposas, shows that: 1) Alvarez truthfully presents the control that Trujillo had over the general population and the struggle of the Dominicans to free themselves from this control, and 2) what happened in the lives of the Mirabal sisters of this novel serves as excellent example of the experiences of the general population during Trujillo's dictatorship.
