Abstract
This thesis evaluates the theme of solitude throughout the diary of Gabriela Mistral. First, it divides Mistral’s experience of solitude into three categories of isolation – personal, national and social – and analyzes each one separately. In doing so, it exposes an important aspect of Mistral’s individuality: her depression. The thesis then determines that the three modes of distance that Mistral experienced will be essential to enhancing further study of her poetics. Finally, it suggests that Mistral’s solitude is symbolic of Latin America’s position in the global community at that time (c. 1914-45), thereby emphasizing the significance of Mistral’s influence as a writer and activist.
