| Abstract | This paper seeks to attend to the cultural representation of two animals that appear curiously coupled in the narrative arch that goes from chapter 24 to chapter 28 of the Second Part of Don Quixote . In symbolic constructions of the ass and the monkey, contemporary to Don Quixote , one discovers implications connected to issues like aesthetic delight, madness and self-knowledge that are evident especially in the passages about the braying aldermen and maese Pedro's puppet show but that may also project its light over the whole book. The analysis approach seeks to retrieve symbolic motives and common lores which are linked to elements present in the work of Cervantes, to achieve a view to the constellation of allusions that such references might awake in contemporary readers. This recovery may illuminate networks of meaning that perhaps time and cultural transformations have obscured for present day readers. |
