Alfonsina storni peso ancestral

What's the difference between apóstrofe and other literary devices in Spanish poetry?

El apóstrofe es una figura en la que la voz poética se dirige directamente a alguien o algo (persona, objeto, idea) con exclamación o llamado —por ejemplo: “¡Oh, mi dolor!”—, creando intimidad o intensidad.

The author addresses her mom to symbolize speaking to all the generations before her that have enabled this toxic way of thinking.

🥀 Poetic Structure

The poem is written in 12 verses separated into 3 stanzas, with the last lines of every stanza ending in -o.

🤔 Literary Devices

This poem is quite short, but it is important to recognize some literary devices used:

• • Repeticion: In the first two lines, Storni repeats “Tu me dijiste” at the start—by repeating “you told me” as she addresses her mother, she shows how she was told something previously that is in reality, not the case.

    ej. The poem, then, actually stands firm in rejecting the historically dualistic definitions and divisions of people and is generally considered to reflect Storni’s comprehension of (but distancing from) her mother’s generation.

    In this often anthologized poem, the first two lines are almost identical, a familiar technique in oral and popular literature to engage the listener/reader’s attention.

    Storni employs a rigid four-line stanza of three unrhyming lines of 12 syllables (abc), followed by a short (five-syllable) fourth line in assonant “b” rhyme (abuelo, acero); likewise, the following two stanzas maintain the same assonant “b” rhyme (an unaccented “oh”: veneno, pequeño; beberlo, peso). Quick conjugation examples (talking about Peso ancestral / la voz poética): - Present subjunctive: “Es importante que la voz poética revele su dolor.” (revelar → revele) - Present perfect subjunctive (completed action with emotion/doubt): “Me alegra que Storni haya denunciado la masculinidad hegemónica.” (haber → haya + denunciado) - Imperfect/past subjunctive for hypotheticals or polite speculation: “Si la sociedad no hubiera impuesto ese peso, la mujer sería distinta.” (haber → hubiera) - Use infinitive after the same subject: “Storni quiere denunciar el patriarcado” (no que).

    As a result, this often meant that men could not ever express how they really felt or seek help for the problems they faced, let alone cry.

    Modernists criticized these ideas heavily and campaigned for the abandoning of these archaic ways of life in favor of one that was more egalitarian.

    At the beginning of the 20th century, the feminist movement began to grow in Argentina as women grew tired of the discrimination and inequality they faced.
