In this study of Vlady Kociancich's Ultimos dias de William Shakespeare, it will be shown how a totalitarian regime comes to consolidate its power through the imposition of a priviledged discourse that is postulated as the absolute truth. It will likewise be demonstrated that the characters trapped in this system are subjected to one single possible interpretation of individual and social realities. / We will then examine the role played by the two protagonists, Santiago Bonday and Renata, in the closed world of Ultimos dias, as well as study the possibilities that these two main characters have of escaping the big lie of the official discourse. We will therefore see that the character's role as writers is fundamental.
