In this essay are analyzed the strategic narrative and the pictures related to the chocolate within the Jose Carlos Carmona’s novel Chocolate flavor (2008), and Julio Cortazar’s tail “Circe” (1951). The word chocolate, its symbols and meanings when it is being eaten and at the moment of eating it and writing about it expands in the literary speech loving pictures, sensual, historic and economical as well as visual characteristics. Thus, it is performed an interpretation related to the propposal about the game and the art of Hans-Georg Gadamer, following the epigraph and reading key in the novel of Carmona: “Todo jugar es un ser jugado” (every play is a being played itself). Chocolate Flavor is about the life of the characters through an obsession due to the chocolate, the love/lack of love, the chess and music; meanwhile in “Circe” it is shown chocolate’s seduction in hands of Delia, which causes death of the lovers with its marshmallows and liquors. The game with the readers arises from a fantastic prose and its possibilities in the ambiguity of the narrative. Thereby, chocolate can be perceived from equidistant points of view; be experimented, tasted from the corporality of the protagonists, enjoying or agonizing with the bitter or sweet of the flavor. Key words: Narrative, interpretation, images, play, chocolate.
