| Description: | Rodolfo Usigli and Octavio Paz had an intellectual relationship. This paper analyzes the play Janus is a girl by Usigli, as a dramatic literary work that responds to the ideas of Octavio Paz in The Labyrinth of Solitude in which the use of a mask as a Mexican defense and self-preservation mechanism to hide from others is proposed. In that way Usigli goes back to those subjects and takes them to staging where he illustrates dynamics of power and violence with examples that Mexicans experience in the family where hypocrisy is a common denominator. |
