Abstract

The process of rewriting that is so common in the works Lope de Vega spans since the beginning to the end of his literary career. A comparison between two of his comic characters proves it: Cardenio (from the Arcadia) and Tomé de Burguillos (from the Rimas de Tomé de Burguillos) belong to Lope’s first and last book, but present obvious similarities. Analyzing their peculiar humor also allows us to inquire into one of Lope’s most characteristic creations for the comedia nueva, the gracioso, on whom Cardenio and Tomé de Burguillos may very well have influenced.
