''PAVLOV'S EASEL'' is a fictional novel that presents a harsh critique of scientific research. In it, the experimental animal is considered a mere model, an object. It's assumed from the start that it isn't a living being capable of experiencing complex feelings like pain, sadness, or joy. Katia Ortiz, the protagonist, is a vegan and, consequently, an animal rights activist. This puts her in conflict with Alfredo Rey, an orthodox scientist with a Cartesian view of his experimental animals. The struggle between Katia and Alfredo reflects the current conflict between traditional scientific researchers and the new vegan animal rights movement, which is gaining strength every day and raising conscientious objections that scientific research never took into account, minimizing the feelings of its experimental models. The text presented here is a narrative fragment that delves into contemporary fiction, specifically within the subgenre of the social chronicle or social critique. Although it has elements of a novel due to its length and character development, the way the author recounts the events-with an almost testimonial tone and a focus on society's ethical and moral problems-brings it closer to the nature of a chronicle. The predominant literary style is realism. The author opts for an objective and detailed narrative, seeking to reflect the reality of the events without excessive embellishment.
