%X Pedro P芍ramo es quiz芍s uno de los textos que m芍s ha influido en las letras hispanoamericanas. Muchos son los estudios que se han realizado a esta obra, algunos de ellos insisten en el tono pesimista de la misma. La novela inicia con un viaje, el del hijo que sale en busca de su padre para cumplir la promesa hecha a la madre en el lecho de muerte. Esta ha sido la interpretaci車n m芍s difundida por la cr赤tica. Sin embargo, si se lee detenidamente el discurso del protagonista se cae en la cuenta de que no es 谷se el motivo principal de su viaje a Comala. En realidad, Juan Preciado es movido por la esperanza que era "aquel se or" llamado Pedro P芍ramo, no por la promesa hecha a Dolores, de la que 谷l mismo dice que no pensaba cumplir hasta que comenz車 a llenarse de sue os, de ilusiones y de esperanza. El viaje de Juan va de la esperanza a la ilusi車n para terminar en la muerte. La acci車n se arraiga en ese sentimiento que mueve a todo ser humano y se convierte as赤 en una extensa met芍fora del sentido (o sin sentido) de la vida. Este escrito reflexiona sobre la presencia de la esperanza y de la ilusi車n en la novela de Juan Rulfo. Pedro Paramo is perhaps one of the literary texts that has had the greatest influence on Spanish American letters. Many studies have been done related to this work, and some of them insist on its pessimistic tone. The novel begins with the journey of a son who sets out to look for his father in order to fulfill the promise made to his mother as she lay dying. This has been the most widely diffused interpretation given by critics. Nevertheless, if one reads carefully the discourse of the protagonist, one comes to understand the principle motive for his journey to Comala. In reality, Juan Preciado is motivated by the hope that it was "that man" named Pedro Paramo that prompted the journey, not the promise made to Dolores, something that he himself says that he was not planning to fulfill until he started to be filled with dreams, illusions, and hope. Juan's journey goes from hope to illusion, culminating in death. The action is rooted in that sentiment that moves every human being and thus changes in an extensive metaphor for the meaning (or without meaning) of life. This manuscript reflects on the presence of hope and illusion in the novel of Juan Rulfo.
