O’KUINGHTTONS RODRIGUEZ, John. Last will and testament and the rites of death: burlesque and parodic expressions of ideological content in the final scene of Don Quixote. Nueva rev. filol. hisp. [online]. 2018, vol.66, n.1, pp.95-121. ISSN 2448-6558.  https://doi.org/10.24201/nrfh.v66i1.3394.

This article aims to show that in the episode of don Quixote’s death there are signs of a questioning of the religious and secular powers, in the elaboration of an ironic testament and in the expression of a burlesque view of the Ars moriendi. It also discusses the implications of understanding don Quixote’s death as a sign of sanity or madness when determining certain ideological stances that underlie the novel.

Palabras llave : Miguel de Cervantes; Don Quijote de la Mancha; testament; rite; death.
