| Description: | This analysis focuses on an approach to the symbolic framework around the water metaphors in the poetry book "Cancionero y romancero de ausencias" by Miguel Hernández, to determine the proposal that this poetic work poses in the intrapersonal and social field. Thus, it is concluded that water is used by the poet as a purification instrument, not only in terms of feelings of the lyric self, but in the search to purify a Spanish society plunged into the war, which will represent a duality between the pain of his son's death and the desire of renew and fertilization in a new society after the rain. Therefore, it is both a return to the fundamental life treasures and a wake-up call that, loaded with subtlety, accounts for the social environment of the moment. |
