In writing the verses that integrate España en el corazón, Pablo Neruda reacts urgently to events that are racing before his eyes. The collection uses the principle of binarity to suggest the strength and violence of the confrontation that ravages the country. Faced with such a conflict, it is not conceivable for him not to take a decision. By multiplying the images of the evil committed, and directly designating those responsible for the evil, Pablo Neruda affirms his desire to be fully identified as an ally of the oppressed Republic. He clearly demands a militant commitment and stands out as spokesperson for the assaulted community. By paying tribute to the soldiers who have fallen on the battlefield and by mythifying the fighters engaged alongside the Republic, he wishes to stimulate the commitment without which everything would already be lost. To turn against the aggressor his own weapons, such is the structuring principle of the collection. Propaganda is also a weapon, and the appropriation of the religious lexicon obeys precisely this objective. Weapons must respond to weapons and words to words, even if in this fierce struggle the words of evil must be mobilized.
