The Second Thread of the Second Part of Don Quixote: The Spectre of the Two Heroes’ Witchcraft Guilt (Threads of Don Quixote —IV—)

Main Article Content

Pierre DARNIS

Abstract

“¡Cuán ciego es aquel que no ve por la tela de cedazo!”, says Don Quixote at the beginning of Second Part. Naturally, lucidity is a principle of reading; but read a work of the First Modern Age is not so easy. In this text (1605), being a “good connoisseur” implies capturing the implicit incoherence between the Merlin of the La Mancha cave and that of the Aragonese mockery. Next to the main plot (chivalrous & Barbary) of the Second Don Quixote, Cervantes printed in filigree a second (and opposite) form of reading (that one of the Dukes) related to witchcraft.
