Recurring themes and style in the poetry of Vicente Aleixandre

Photo by Vicente Aleixandre

In the literature of Vicente Aleixandre We can see certain themes that recurrently appear over and over again, making it clear what the obsessions and concerns of this renowned Spanish poet were:

El love It is one of them and is shown with a strong erotic charge and as a source of life and vitality, which however can also lead to the destruction of those who feel these impulses. Desire on your part is the engine of love.

Another source of life and another of the recurring themes in Aleixandre is the nature, of which he conceals innumerable virtues that he believes that the human being has to mimic to improve as such. Aspiring to resemble nature is supposed to be a high ideal of men and women in search of perfection and integration with a higher whole that is nothing other than the unity of all things.

Finally we can say that Aleixandre likes to play with parts of the human body treated independently as well as inserting dreamlike and irrational images, something typical of surrealism that he always liked and that his rhythmic procedures were many, very varied and very shifting from one poem to another highlighting his good use of the accentuation as a musical procedure.
