Are we completely sure that the only consequence of trauma is either destruction of resilience? Catherine Malabou in Ontología del accidente (2018) tells us that there can be a third possibility: «Something is shown thanks to the damage and the cut» (14). In fact, trauma, contrary to what has traditionally been said, can derive into a creation in our reality. In Lina Meruane's Rotten Fruit (2007) there are two protagonists: Zoila, who is diagnosed with diabetes, and María, who will sacrifice her children for medical experiments in order to pay for Zoila's treatment. I consider that both suffer trauma. The destruction of María's character, however, will not generate creation, since her actions will continue in the line of self-exploitation to avoid becoming a disposable body. However, the destruction in Zoila's character will indeed produce creation. In Zoila, we will see an example of what Malabou calls «destructive plasticity» since, from the trauma, that is, from her illness, a new subjectivity will emerge, developing an ontological metamorphosis of her being. She, her character, will become an unprecedented creation in literature.
