Resumen

En este artículo se pretende analizar el uso que Shakespeare hace de cierta técnica narrativa, a la que nos podemos referir como “mímesis de contraste.” Tras analizar las características de determinadas secuencias en Macbeth, Enrique IV 1 y La Tempestad, se mostrará cómo las subtramas breves de Shakespeare, generalmente consideradas descansos cómicos, son en realidad momentos de suma importancia, puesto que no solo reflejan la narrativa principal de la obra, sino que también generan un impactante efecto poético. Posteriormente, se tendrá en cuenta el uso de esta técnica dentro de la literatura de autores victorianos y modernistas, en concreto en los textos de Charles Dickens, James Joyce y T. S. Eliot. Por último, tendremos en cuenta las valoraciones de determinados autores acerca de la obra de Shakespeare, S. T. Coleridge y Thomas De Quincey, para demostrar que el teatro renacentista, y en concreto la mímesis de contraste, tuvo un gran impacto en la literatura de los siglos diecinueve y veinte.
