Summary/Abstract: In an ethnological interpretation of the corrida the author considered successive parts of the spectacle (with a detailed examination of its components), conceived as stages in a ritual in which the bull is first humiliated and then ennobled – as in the knighting ceremony. In this way, the bull becomes a worthy opponent of the matador, with whom it engages in a duel.
