Zusammenfassung
Reflection on the concept of evil can take on very varied aspects in the context of a confrontation between two opposing groups. The process of building the other, which leaves behind reason and the evaluation of characteristics to resort to generalization, can become the ideal basis on which to carry out the dehumanization and objectification of the individual, as it happened during the Spanish Civil War. In this paper we intend to analyze the interrelation between the recreation of the exogroup and its ascription to a certain concept of evil, as presented in the novel Una isla en el mar rojo (1939), by Wenceslao Fernández Flórez. In this work, the reality of what happened is entwined with fiction throughout a plot in which the notion of evil is clearly encompassed, in a narrative that presents Republicans as the kernel of vileness. Evil is fictionalized in this novel, at the same time that it becomes an instrument of political action; lines that we intend to expose below.
