Symbolism found in Marco Denvis Apocalipsis
“Apocalipsis” is a story written by the Spanish writer Marco Denevi. ... What is Marco Denevi trying to tell us through his story, and how can we benefit? Right from the beginning of the story Marco uses symbolism, starting with his title. He chooses the word “Apocalypse” traditionally used to refer to the book of Revelation found in the Bible. ... Why would Marco choose this Bible book to represent a story about man’s annihilation by means of technology? ... Just like man’s firm belief in the Bible, Marco is letting his readers know that he strongly believes that man’s destruction, brought on by machinery, is also destined to occur. ... Marco Denevi also uses symbolism by selecting the 32nd century as the year of man’s abolishment. ... Throughout his story Marco let’s us know that mankind’s eventual disappearance wasn’t a change brought about suddenly. ... By setting man’s termination date so far in advance, Marco is telling his readers that there is more than enough time for mankind as a race, to reverse the stepping stones they have laid out for their own destruction.
