I28-R145-7584_oai2025-11-17 Baldwin Lind, Paula Román Navarro, Jennipher de los Ángeles 2016-07-15 The symbolism of the tree in literature and in the cultural imaginary can acquire a relevant dimension for the analysis of literary works. If we think about the religious and mythological traditions, we find examples such as the tree of the science of good and evil of Paradise, the tree of the Hesperides, the multiple metamorphoses of mortals in trees or, finally, the Yggdrasil. In this article we will analyze how in two plays by Samuel Beckett and Anton Chekhov respectively, this element becomes crucial when used as an inverted symbol that transmits and condenses with great intensity one of the hermeneutic keys that allow to understand the dramatic plot and the relationships between the characters much better. La simbología del árbol en la literatura y en el imaginario cultural puede adquirir una dimensión relevante para el análisis de obras literarias. Si pensamos en las tradiciones religiosas y mitológicas nos encontramos con ejemplos como el árbol de la ciencia del bien y del mal del Paraíso, el árbol de las Hespérides, las múltiples metamorfosis de mortales en árboles o, por último, el Yggdrasil1. En este trabajo analizaremos cómo en dos obras de teatro de Samuel Beckett y de Antón Chéjov respectivamente, este elemento, es protagónico, al utilizarse como símbolo invertido transmite y condensa con mayor intensidad una de las claves hermenéuticas que permiten comprender mejor la trama dramática y las relaciones entre los personajes. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Beckettiana/article/view/7584 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras.
