Abstract

This article seeks to explore the poetics of subversion inscribed in the construction of characters in Cervantes' works, via the analysis of Manuel de Sosa Coitiño's episode in the Persiles. The study examines two parallel and interrelated processes that the Portuguese soldier underwent: the deification of his fiancée Leonora and the process of his construction as the stereotype of the Portuguese lover. We will show how Cervantes crafted the episode in a manner that leads to the destabilization of the stereotypical features of his character. An examination of this phenomenon could offer insight into the author's critical attitude towards one of the most popular literary clichés of the Spanish Golden Age.
