This article suggests an interpretation of The Days of the Rainbow (2011) by Antonio Skarmeta, from the catalysis or narration details. These minor components are full of significance and sense, because they establish anchor points that articulate the text at a political, symbolic, and ideological level. Thus, in very negligible aspects such as the pieces of clothing worn by the characters, the colours that depict the story, the objects that decorate the narrative space, among others, not only can we find power but also a historical context hidden in the narrated events.
