Bordaberry ran against Wilson Ferreira, who won the most votes of all the candidates; however, Bordaberry, due to some maneuvers with the votes and a blind eye on the part of his party, tipped the election in his favor. During the transfer of power, Bordaberry and Pacheco were even more aggressive in their suspension of civil rights.

Bordaberry declared a state of war and ordered the military to suppress the insurgency. The military arrested many of the Tupamaros until they were no longer an effective entity. Even though the Tupamaros had been disciplined, the military decided to take action on the Tupamaros’ supporters. In 1973, Bordaberry suspended the remaining constitutional rights of the people, and a couple of weeks later, the military itself suspended Congress and enacted a Supreme Military Council, completing the military coup d’état (Weschler 1990,…

Jorge Luis Borges was seen as a surrealist writer. He wrote through the perspective of dreams for most of his writings by trying to change reality into another meaning. He is a surrealist writer that had many experiences in life that affected his work and also used fictional ways of writing to tell stories that were actually true.

Deeper still, with intertextuality, is the possibility that the entire novel itself is anchored to an extent to the lost Aristotelian…

From the onset of the story, it is clear that Borges is intent on depicting the main character and protagonist, Espinosa, as a holy figure. He describes Espinosa as having “unlimited…
