Alfonsina Storni was a women poet, author, and playwright in Argentina. Unlike many other poets and literary artists, she was very different. She refused to conform to the modern and popular styles of Argentina at the time. Instead she wrote about the feminism and the pain of misogyny that she and many other women experienced. Many women experienced this however they never dared to express their outrage and pain through their writings. In Hombre Pequenito, the canary represents the women in civilization and socialization. The cage represents the metaphorical box that men use to trap women. Because of this there are many things that women cannot do. We have become very trapped and complacent in relationships and in this society because no one wants to speak out or rather support women on this. In Peso Ancestral, I believe the you is most likely a man as well as the I. But there may be some variations in the age. I had some trouble understanding the exact meanings in this poem. This poem represents the emotion a man can feel but that he must always hide it. Society has brought men up to never cry or express their feelings whereas women are free and expected to be emotional. Men are expected to stay strong and represent the strength of a society.
