CAMPESINO, Juan. When happiness hurts. Romantic irony or the form of paradox?. Tóp. Sem [online]. 2015, n.34, pp.107-129. ISSN 2594-0619.

This paper characterizes the concept of Romantic irony in a poem by César Vallejo in order to demonstrate that, instead of an ironic one, it is a paradoxical resource that doesn't evaluate its referents negatively, but concretes itself as a neutral value speech product of the annulation of opposite charges.
