Abstract	Exiled Uruguayan author Cristina Peri Rossi is considered an outstanding writer of novels, short stories and poetry. She is extremely diverse with regard to the topics with which she chooses to write. While her works vary as far as topic and theme, one characteristic stands to remain almost constant in her literature which is the element and displays of which the government controls and oppresses society as a whole. Although much criticism has been directed toward Cristina Peri Rossi's works, not much has been written with regard to her use of children as main characters in her literature. Therefore it has been the purpose of this investigation to evaluate her short stories and one of her novels in order to uncover the dominant themes regarding her infant protagonists as they appear in selected collections of her narrations, revealing their roles in society and the exploration of their interaction with adults.

Chapter 1 is dedicated to children who are found confronting adult themes. The elements specific to this section is a history of Uruguay including the reign of terror and military dictatorship between the period of 1972 and 1985.
