As with all writers, César Vallejo had a series of obsessions that are repeated periodically throughout his work giving rise to the thematic nuclei of the same that we briefly summarize in this article.
One of them is the feeling of seeing unprotected and only in a world full of injustices and evils that plague mankind and threaten men around every corner. No one, not even God, will help men and women to get out of the well of loneliness and defenselessness in which they are plunged.
The passage of tiempo is another of his obsessions. The proximity of death, which is closer and closer as a result of the flow of the calendar, torments the poet who takes refuge in nature and in his own body as a means to live the present without the temporary burden of the eternal ticking of the clock. However, getting old is also felt in the senses ...
Finally the claim and solidarity are other of the leitmotivs of Vallejo's work, who knows that reality is black and that only by helping others and sharing their pain will he be able to do something to alleviate the painful situation in which human beings live.
