Roberto González Echevarría continues his Yale course on Cervantes with a close reading of the Camacho's wedding episode in Part II of Don Quixote. He shows how the episode, originally conceived as a play, reworks the myth of Pyramus and Thisbe into an epithalamium that dramatizes one of Part Two's central themes, that art corrects nature. He argues that beneath the comic deception lies a subtext in which marriage functions as a transcendental metamorphosis of matter, a kind of transubstantiation traced through what he calls the itinerary of blood. He closes by comparing Cervantes' layered treatment of representation to Velázquez, suggesting both artists expose the hidden mechanics of how creation ultimately touches the real. Recorded in Fall 2009 as part of Yale's open course on Don Quixote.
