Summaries in Spanish and English / Text in Spanish / The aim of this dissertation is to analyse those poems in which the image of the knife, el
cuchillo, appears in the collection El rayo que no cesa, by Miguel Hernandez. The poet
manifests his all-encompassing tragic view of life by means of this recurring negative
symbol.
The poetry of Miguel Hernandez is autobiographical: The universal themes of nature, love
and death reveal a close link between the course of his life and the evolution of his poetry.
El rayo que no cesa is central to the evolution of Hernandez's poetry: it is the product of the
crisis of conscience that propelled the poet toward a radical change of world-view. The book
reveals his frustration with love within the rigid norms of the society of his time. The poet
expresses his bitterness by means of destructive images such as knife, sword, and ray/flash,
images that project the tragic fate that threatened his entire existence. / Esta disertacion tiene por objeto analizar los poemas en que aparece la imagen del cuchillo
