Introduction This essay is an analysis of “The United Fruit Company” by Pablo Neruda. The original name of it is “La United Fruit Co”. The poem was published in Spanish in 1950 and later interpreted into English. Neruda’s “United Fruit Company” is a reflection on the situation in the Latin American countries during the early and mid 20th century. That follows a wave of imperialism exercised by the international corporations established in the Middle American countries. Those include the Coca-Cola Company, the Anaconda Mining Company, the Ford Motors, and the United Fruit Company. Bucheli argues that the United Fruit Company was the American company that had established the most political and economic influence in the so-called ‘‘Banana Republics’’ (9). That was a term coined by an American writer Henry, to refer to the backward Latin American countries, whose governments had been taken over by dictators, supported by the multinationals from the United States. The multinationals had influenced the governments of these countries to the extent that the tyrant, who ruled in those days, suppressed workers strikes using government bodies such as the military and the police in favor of the companies. The meaning of the poem ‘‘United Fruit Company’ stands out as relevant during those times in several ways. “United Fruit Company” Poem: Critical Analysis Considering the political situations during those times, Pablo Neruda’s ‘‘United Fruit Company’’ is relevant as far as timing is concerned since the people needed the information contained in the poem. That is the satirical portrayal of the multinationals, who had invaded the countries rather than doing what they had disguised themselves as doing. They worsened the situation through exploiting the workers, bribing the dictators in power during those days, and manipulating the decisions of such leaders to their advantage. Those companies influenced the region since they rewarded the leaders who sacrificed their people in exchange for favors. An excellent example is the Banana Massacres, where the military opened fire to a group of striking workers, killing an estimated 2000 workers and wounding others. In the poem, P.Neruda uses the metaphor of the flies to refer to the tyrants who benefited by killing their citizens to gain favors and resources from these dominating companies. The success of the poem “The United Fruit Company” does not fall in that it encouraged the people to take up arms against such companies as the ‘‘United Fruit Co’’. It also gives a more in-depth insight into the situations with the banana countries under the influence of the tyrants such as Trujillo, Tacho, Martinez, and Ubico. Pablo Neruda uses biblical phrases in the poem to satirize the justification that imperialism received in comparison to the corruption and evil deeds committed by these companies. This poem and other works by other artists of the time, such as Miguel Angel Asturias and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, are responsible for the rise of the rebellions and resistance that resulted in many revolutions in Latin America. Pablo Neruda’s “United Fruits Company” is timeless as far as the issue it sought to address remains. That includes the aspects of Neo-Colonia
