Abstract

English abstract: An analysis of the narrative structure of 'Shutter Island' (Martin Scorsese, 2010), a film in which the spectator enters the fictional world of a prison island / total institution, only to discover along the way that this is not the protagonist's actual social wourld, but rather the world of his hallucinatory vision, the psychic prison or rock shelter he has built as a refuge against an excessively painful reality.

Spanish abstract: Análisis de la estructura narrativa de ´Shutter Island´ (Martin Scorsese, 2010), una película en la que el espectador se introduce en el mundo ficticio de una isla prisión / institución total, sólo para descubrir más adelante que no se trata del mundo social efectivo del protagonista, sino del mundo de su visión alucinatoria, la prisión psíquica o refugio de roca que ha construido para refugiarse contra una realidad demasiado dolorosa.
