CULTURAL, PHILOSOPHICAL AND RELIGIOUS REFLECTION OF THE AESTHETICS OF SEXUALITY AND GENDER IN THE NOVELS MIST BY MIGUEL DE UNAMUNO AND THE SEDUCER'S DIARY OF SØREN KIERKEGAARD.

Both novels are controversial and difficult to interpret due to their critique of the cultural, philosophical, and religious dimensions of the aestheticization of sexuality and gender from the perspective of human freedom and individuality. Our goal is to discover how both writers address this problem indirectly but openly, using irony, to show the insufficiency of the traditional, aesthetic fulfillment of the human being that we see, for example, in Don Juan. Moreover, it shows something that seems natural as something not only comical, but wretched and despicable. We are using methods of intertextual, intratextual and thematic analysis to show how this type of writing integrates an independent, free and responsible point of view concerning the social and cultural problems of modern society based on individuality, using paradoxes, ironies and indirect writing.
