This thesis analyzes two works of narco culture: Yuri Herrera’s Trabajos del reino and Luis Estrada’s El infierno. In these works, the themes of masculinity and its relationship to honor and power were found to be prevalent. This thesis will dissect how masculinity manifests itself in works of narco culture in order to understand the interactions between characters in works of narco culture and the power structures that narcos build within these works, in addition to seeking to understand how honor as it is determined by public perception motivates the actions of male characters in works of narco culture.
