The metaphysical language and characters in Children of our neighborhood (?Awl?d ??ratin?) by Na??b Ma?f?? and Rayuela by Julio Cortázar

Abstract

This paper studies the metaphysical aspect of language and characters in Awl?d ?ar?tin? (????? ??????-Children in our neighborhood) by Na??b Ma?f??, and Rayuela by Julio Cortázar. As this study exposes general objective attitude, technique and procedures used by the authors with language and characters highlighting the convergent and divergent points in both novels. This study concludes that both authors used music as metaphysical language and while Cortázar presents characters who have philosophically metaphysical matters, Ma?f??, based on the symbolism, used characters with two dimensions: social (to draw a real environment) and biblical (to not use abstract language and impossibly described characters).
