El Mocho, story set in the mines of Lota is no exception to the world of social discourse intersect in an infernal mating, repression and masks convoluted to go into the darkest staining and ambiguous opacity to their hosts, histrionic and pathetic beings Chilean writer Jose Donoso, grandly was building, since his debut with Summerhouse and Other Stories (1955)

In the work of Donovan The reader must reconstruct fuzzy and imprecise sources are developed intentionally as a cliché and stilted images prostitutes, unemployed and people immersed in work and agazapantes absurd, true dead ends or bad dreams of death.

Donoso in the universe, is a constant monotony and routine roles addiction as taxes, hiding the real self. Incomplete, out represented nickname and face. So despite what the reader expected according to past experience, forged out of the narrative world, will always face to face with a violation and lack key proposed carnival and baroque. world full of grotesque grotesque possible singing dissatisfaction and hope, embodied in migrating to know in a piecemeal fashion with the nicknames of Mocho, the Bambina, the boy and the Mocho

In the particular case Mochos characters who lend their names to the work product of his pejorative nickname referred to his work as servers and on a more symbolic and intimate, because his life severed, we encounter with a becoming actantial we profiled entities urged by necessity. Precarious, denote righteousness, innocence, gentleness, immersed in the field, misogynist, almost animal Lota. Space that constantly reminds them of their mistake, the peripheral status of liabilities and prudish. They are kids who crave sexual frustration product; movement and a sharp break with its social leadership.

that extent, the evolution of these beings operate under the aegis of reluctance and contradiction against global expectations. Fleeing from what everyone expects of them roam and are diluted and their behavior reaches as high rates of subversion destructure order and consistency in their environment immediately. These hierarchies rusty and fossilized by habit and the need to build secure identity, apprehended and communicable.

disruptor element is an ingredient that recalls Donovan's penchant for biblical metaphorically.

Edenic content is turned upside down and two women, two prostitutes, these flimsy tempt them away from the church, his path of righteousness and morality that condemns them to eternal and timeless ritual without much satisfaction and sense the pleasure of repeating an act of compulsively and single-minded.

Another element disintegrated, a victim of the eruption and rupture worldly scholasticism: The parental control and stability providing a source well delineated. Consequently, we face another fetish Donoso, concubinage and illicit intercourse, fleeting encounters that meet lumpen proletariat and bourgeoisie in a subtle blood covenant.

In this discourse, both Mochos amalgamate with their common ancestor, the aristocratic Blas Urizar, of questionable behavior in his social circle. Astray, Blas is the spot in the family lineage, known as the mocha language, is the first of this lineage reviled, exiled and outcast with a shield, embroiled in an affair with another prostitute in the mining area, Mary Paine Guala, grandmother of Mocho Toño great and great-grandmother, the Mocho Chico.

The author weaves in a succulent in space and time wandering around these stocks, the cross, forcing them to collide and error to be repeated a thousand times in Dante's purgatory, orphans of expectations and frustrations, are destructive of the social germ . Ghosts whose contour is a gossip after a complex set of words, gibberish which connotes too much and lost consciousness long ago. Compelled to wander without a destination source and infamous.

For females, the erratic wandering is twofold, because in this unreality lucid, they only have two options. They are mothers or whores, the consequent question is what if must, taxation, be both? what will a society like ours, such as that posed by the work, full of males and Antonio. In the ideology of this archetype, a woman should honor their home, therefore a performance in bed is vetoed, it belongs to only those females that he used to enjoy, because you is the giver and get exclusive prominently carnal enjoyment. In the same area that borders on oppression falologocentrismo body, what role they play, if you know the identity or whereabouts of the father of their offspring? And why do not serve to perpetuate the comedy, not only giving birth to the children of anonymous men and violent, but to educate them in the same mold?

Submissive and denigrated, women in the world of Donoso, specifically in the Mocho, occupies the seat of an object (no subject) of devotion and pleasure of these men who so often mistaken for the mother and lover, ambiguity and contradiction , founding and unavoidable component of this novel, posthumously published in year 97 and last destination of Chilean readers had to connect with his prolific voice before into the international cultural scene, is spoken tailed lizard , a novel loss of that member and columnist for the boom, which bequeathed such great titles for years to our narrative, becoming one of the most prolific voices and original.
