Abstract
This study explores the prostitute's allegorical role throughout the history of Western literature, culminating in the late 19th century and early 20th century Latin American novels, where this character was established as a symbol of modernity and, more specifically, as symbolizing the destructive influence of the Latin American modernization process on the region's incipient national projects.
