The context of the work is difficult to understand some words used are native to the same city.
Luis Alfonso Romero y Flores, protagonist of the novel, is a mestizo character, the result of the relationships between his indigenous mother and the owner of the house he served, the deceased Miguel Romero y Flores’, fallen out of favor but with ínfulas ofgreatness. The chulla is ashamed of his Indian blood, and cling among other things to his double surname that gives him an alleged Spanish blood nobility, and then we will start the essay we will first address clarifying the keyword of the work "Chulla" the word ‘the word’Chulla ‘present from the title is an Ecuadorianism explained in the vocabulary placed by Icaza as a colophon:’ only. Odd. Middle -class man or woman who tries to overcome appearances ’. The Chulla Romero and Flores develops through seven chapters, in them the author plasma the reality that was lived at that time, an era in which society which was guided by stereotypes of respect referring to the social class, or to the economic level of which people had at that time, and because until today there are still social classes and that is one of the reasons why this work of Icaza continues to maintain until today, discrimination was very high and reality That people lived was another, there is also a scene in the work in which the chulla goes to a party and in the same he is humiliated, discriminated against by his clothing, the chulla is outraged and at the same time humiliated from the party, and then Thus the chulla had to survive, adapt to that medium in which he lived, the work develops in a social world of poverty, hunger, injustice, prejudices, which he had to face day by day, chulla would be a character intach Able very fair, and recognized, but not for a long time there are problems that arise in the narrative is when the Prosecutor’s Office begins to real Secret is discovered that in order to continue with his farce he stole and falsified documents to reach personal interests. The image of Mrs. Francisca’s wife of the presidency candidate decidespredominance of the country, they made fun of all. Romero and Flores, an ingenious and hardworkAs their father called him
, The protagonist, Luis Alfonso Romero and Flores, for his condition as Cholo (mestizo of India and Blanco) and for his pujos disguise of such condition in behavior and attire. Served the character, the adventure served;that only root the story in the most castiza tradition of the Latin American novelistic. Focus and tone that, above or below the plot, will never abandon it until it becomes a tragicomedy, in addition, a Quito of etching, where Creoles abound, corrupt by formation and inheritance, and hurry against their economic economic miseryand his racial infamy the cholos and Indians. With what, as Miguel Sánchez-Ostiz affirms in his prologue, Icaza achieves the pruritus of blood purity, of the name, of the Creoles, of the race even.
It is important to relieve that this work will continue to be a classic for its content an important factor of this is the social pyramids that predominate until today, the work can be called to my visa point with the narrative style tragicomedia since sometimes the author Implement scenes that are somewhat funny and also sometimes tragic scenes this giving the work originality and taste to the reader to read the work, it has a tragic end, the essence of the book which makes it so original and so recognized It is the way in which the author expresses through the protagonist the way in which the experiences of that time reflects, the work is initially very curious since there are scenes that cause suspense in the reader reason for the reader to continue entering In reading, reading the work in my imagination recreates the scenes, landscapes, the characters, I had a characteristic of the various characters in the work, it is I did it since I became easier to understand the work.
With this work of Icaza we can realize the indigenism that reflects the work of how the cholos, mestizos, or known as the "chullas" had to adapt to the environment in which the poverty that existed in those times,Social pyramids, such as rich discriminated against low economic income
In conclusion, the book shows as in the colonial era, people were discriminated against by their ethnic ancestry, however high -command people can say that they were more considered, the chulla hidden their lineage to appear not to have indigenous blood and then emphasize to adapt tosociety full of discrimination that predominated at that time.
