Sumario:This article offers a view on different short-story books written by Mexican author Rosario Castellanos. It uses the general structure of the story as a guideline, primarily focused on the author's personal definition. Having adopted such perspective, I shall focus on the characters despite the fact that the situation, the environment and the main topic flow in a peculiar manner. Said manner conforms the social, psychological and ideological concerns of the author who is able to describe them extremely accurately thanks to the use of certain techniques embedded in the genre. The aim is then, to define and establish the mechanism through which the construction of the "significant moment", within which both characters and actions converge, as the central element of the story.
