Notes:
The novels about Latin American dictatorships are formed by elements that denounce the social, political, and economic problems of the towns that configure the Latin American world. Their main objective is to create a conscience of injustice and of the damage that men are submitted to in their environment. So that, the theme in "La figura literaria del dictador en "Tirano Banderas,"" "El Señor Presidente," and "El Otoño del Patriarca" studies the similarities and the differences in these novels with other Latin American authors who have studied the theme of dictatorships. By studying the thematic and stylistic development of these novels, we can see that Ramón del Valle-Inclán, Miguel Angel Asturias, and Gabriel García Márquez enter in the field of experimentation. In this way, the works contribute to the creation of a critical space that facilitates the study, interpretation, and the knowledge of the works that literally deal with the theme of Latin American dictatorship.
