Ortega presents his metaphysics as a set of images around the novel as a metaphor for life. But he confuses the subject and object in the references in his explanation of life as action: In his aesthetics, he didn’t study enough the fictional characters (as autonomous within the fiction, not from the novelist). Instead, Zambrano has a theory about the fictional character, so she can think better about the analogy, she can see more aspects. For example: an ethical proposal on the status of projective of person (neutral, without a moral valuation in Ortega): For Zambrano it is a reprehensible attitude, the sacrifice of life to a reducing preconceived scheme. What she calls «novelty» in his Reading of Galdós’ Nina.
