Abstract:
In this article we compare the contemporary legend known as "revenge rape" with the literary versions present in several works of Catalan literature, such as the famous novel Estudi en lila by Maria-Antonia Oliver, and the short narrative that is at its origin, "Fils trencats"; the play Anna, o la venjanca by Manuel Crespo Serrat, the short novel by Ines Vidal Farre El metge i un gos d'atura, and the story "Besties carnivores" by Carlota Gurt. We also mention some other cultural reflections of this urban legend, such as the Greek mythology, the rape and revenge films, and some specific contemporary films. Finally, the matching key points are extracted and a common pattern is formed.
