Roberto González Echevarría continues his Yale lecture series on Cervantes' Don Quixote, resuming with the galley slaves episode. He reads Ginés de Pasamonte's crossed eyes as a metaphor for a new literary model of internal perspectivism, a being capable of seeing two ways at once, then turns to the character he calls the prisoner of sex, showing how Cervantes builds a complex figure in a single paragraph while sketching the legal and historical background of his era. The second half moves to the Sierra Morena episodes, the structural core of Part One, tracing how the interpolated stories of Marcela and Grisóstomo and others share common threads with Don Quixote's love quest for Dulcinea: offenses of passion, honor, body and property, and the restitution that follows. Marriage emerges as the recurring device of narrative closure. Recorded at Yale in Fall 2009 as part of the Open Yale Courses series SPAN 300.
