Abstract
The following article analyzes El último Verano by Amparo Dávila. The article aims to demonstrate that this text presents a questioning of the social mandates of motherhood, which subjugate women to the point of emotionally destabilizing them, which would produce the social subject of the "non-normative mother". Moreover, we seek to analyze the way in which the fantastic becomes a discursive tool to develop this questioning. In this sense, the fantastic becomes an interpretive key to reality.
