VILLALOBOS VILLALOBOS, Carlos Manuel. The archetypes of the shadow, the double and the elusive love in Detrás del espejo by Julieta Pinto. Káñina [online]. 2016, vol.40, n.2, pp.171-177. ISSN 2215-2636.

This communication, basically from a Jungian perspective addresses the storybook Detrás del espejo by the Costa Rican writer Julieta Pinto. These stories present an intimate narrator that seeks into himself and tries to communicate with the other. However, this subject of desire fails to materialize the amatory connection, because the presence of the archetype of the shadow prevents it. From this archetype, it is generated a process of amatory avoidance, which is linked to related topics such as loneliness, remoteness, coldness and the ominous. As a complement of this psychological stage the text presents dream scenes that take place in a charged cloud environment. This condition prevents the mirror image clearly reflects each of the characters.
