Raíces histórico-culturales y literarias sobre la muerte en torno al argumento de Corpse Bride
Keywords:
Tim Burton, marriage after death, legends, Don Juanism, EsproncedAbstract
The script of Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride is based on a Jewish legend featuring a marriage after death. On the one hand, different literary aspects concerning this legend and variants of its historical survival will be discussed. On the other hand, it will be shown how the script departs from the legend at a certain point and takes features from the literary subject of Don Juanism, since there is a special parallel with José de Espronceda’s El estudiante de Salamanca, which makes it possible to elude a tragic ending.
