Understanding Pablo Neruda's 'Walking Around'

The poem "Walking Around" is part of the poetry collection Residencia en la Tierra (Residence on Earth), which belongs to the second cycle of Pablo Neruda's poetic output, spanning the years 1931 to 1935. This period delves into the poet's inner world.

During this phase of literary production, Neruda, influenced by Surrealism, developed a vision of a culturally disintegrated and painful world. The poet, in this context, delves into the unconscious.

Residencia en la Tierra is a product of the loneliness and isolation Neruda experienced during his stay in the East as a diplomat. This was a profoundly painful chapter in his life, which Neruda himself called a "season in hell."

Literary Criticism Styles

Close reading relies on deep analysis of text.

Death of the Author

This theory posits that the meaning of a work of art resides solely within the art itself and the audience's interpretation. The reader's understanding is paramount, and connections to the author's background or personal life are considered irrelevant.
