| Summary: | A literary criticism of the book "Don Quijote," by Miguel de Cervantes is presented. Juan B. Avalle-Arce believes that the "La Araucana" by Alonso de Ercilla influenced the work of Cervantes. He cites the duel in medias res as the main inspiration for the vizcaino-duel. Since the divine law forbids duels outside of just wars, Tucapel's and Rengo's duel is found to be unjustified, critics say. It observes that Cide Hamete, on the other hand, expresses disbelief of miracles and his predetermined resistance against dueling. |
