What literary elements can be found in "House Taken Over" by Julio Cortázar?

- One aspect of a story called 'realistic portrayal' is the portrait of a narrator and the house where his sister lives - because they have ancestral memories - owned by generations and brothers and sisters like it It is being "childhood."

- Another aspect of magical realism is that time is "historical and eternity" and is occupied by long-established ancestral homes and brothers and sisters who lost the opportunity to marry. Then they seal themselves with their daily cleaning work and spend the rest of their days with their favorite knit and reading entertainment.

- Readers are embarrassed between two realistic concepts. Obviously, there is a supernatural power to enter the house, but the story brothers explain the takeover of the house as if this is not rare:

It happened very easily and without fuss so I would remember it forever and clearly ... the sound became quiet and blurred ... after a while or a while I heard the end of it It was. Passage to two rooms.

- After listening to these sounds, my older brother quietly walked into the kitchen, added a bottle of hot water, and when he returned with everyday items he said he had to close the aisle door. "They took over the latter part," he said, apparently assuming that his sister knows who they are. There are two real worlds

- Brothers and sisters "disassemble" their identity. Because they handed the house to the soul and gave up some of their favorite assets. Strange passive, brothers and sisters live in their homes. Finally, when they heard the noise of the kitchen and the other areas they normally occupied, they gave up or did not do anything without saying a single word. Passively, the brother locked the door of the front door firmly and threw the key into the sewer. He talks in the same passive way.

We got what we have. I remember that there were 15,000 pesos in the closet in the bedroom. It's too late now.

- When a house is occupied by a certain type of soul, supernatural events take place, these souls move around and cause their brothers and sisters to escape them

- Brothers and sisters are hidden badly in other places of the house, there are nothing I like trapped and there are pessimistic and frightening elements. Then after he heard the spirit of the side of the heavily oak oak door,

We were standing there listening to the sounds and increasingly confident that we were next to us, even if they were not our oak door, kitchen, bathroom or horn hole did.

First, Julio Cortázar's "House Taken Over", a brief introduction of older brother and sister living in peace at their big house. They live outside the rent of the house, so there are plenty of leisure time. When she is weaving passionately, he reads books indefinitely. On an unfortunate day, they heard a strange sound from the back of the house - noise and footsteps. Afraid, the brothers closed the middle door between their habitation area (in front) and the back of the house. He declared: "I have to close the aisles and they took over the second half." (Cortázar 12) Brothers and sisters pull themselves away from the prisoners without trying to confront them. Soon, they noticed that they themselves were accustomed to living in the safe and easy to use parts of their homes, eating cold meals, and adjusting the activities to kill time.

The boundary between reality and fiction can sometimes become very thin. I noticed myself trying to decipher what Julio Cortázar truly imagined in the story of "House Taken Over". Through this story, I do not know what Cortázar wants to say to us as a reader, but I think I made some small relationship with it. This story tells about the older brother and sister who lived in the house of the great colonial period of their ancestral family. In most cases, my brother and sister are cleaning the house. I am only enjoying idle time. My older sister Eileen weaved with free time. This means that she refused to marry two men in her life and that she was unable to participate in marriage by knitting wool and thread together to cancel from work and start over from the beginning It supplemented. This unnamed brother is also a narrator in a story that likes to spend time reading French literature.
