Summary/Abstract: This paper is meant to underline Cervantes’s gleeful view of existence, explicitly condemning or underlying the deviations of a century of spiritual cruelties, debunking the foolish mediaeval literary tradition. Making use of a character referred to as “crazy”, one of parody and derision, Cervantes managed to pass down a masterpiece of literature that showed to be not simply comic or tragic, or historical, but a bit of everything at the same time, transmitting an amalgam of emotions and pathos.
