| dcterms.abstract | This thesis is a comparative analysis of Miguel de Cervantes' Don Quijote and Miguel de Unamuno's Niebla with a central focus on the ways in which the authors blur the line between fiction and reality. Bearing in mind the influence and importance of prior literary movements, I will also examine the mechanisms utilized by Cervantes and Unamuno in their departure from traditional, literary norms of their respective eras. By doing so, both authors succeed in creating characters that dominate the action of the fictitious worlds in which they live, while also remaining intimately connected to the world of the reader. In chapter one, I briefly examine the influences of los libros de caballerÇða in Don Quijote and, in the wake of losing its last colonies, I also analyze the literature of the Generation of 1898 in Spain, as it relates to Unamuno's nivola. Chapter two involves an examination of don Quijote and Augusto PǸrez and how their distinctive characteristics lay the foundation for a type of metafiction that extends itself beyond the limitations of the fictional narrative. Using these character examinations as a foundation, the following chapters explore the methods in which the authors intertwine their characters' worlds with reality. Within the context of this puzzling interaction, I note specifically the roles of the prologues, narration, and content in the disorientation of the reader. Also, these chapters examine how Cervantes and Unamuno obscure and ultimately cross the line between fiction and reality by inserting themselves, explicitly and sometimes more subtly, in their own work. In the last chapter, I analyze the relationship of reciprocity between author and character and the ways in which this interdependence results not only in an ambiguous death for each of the main characters, but also in the immortalization of both creator and creation. Este ensayo trata de un anÇlisis comparativo entre Don Quijote (Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra) y Niebla (Miguel de Unamuno) y las maneras en que los autores desdibujan la distinciÇün entre la realidad y la ficciÇün. Al tener en cuenta los rasgos distintos de los movimientos literarios anteriores, esta tesis analizarÇ los mecanismos por los cuales ambos autores rompen con las normas de sus propias Ǹpocas y crean personajes que, a la vez que existen en sus mundos ficticios, tambiǸn estÇn Çðntimamente ligados con el mundo verdadero. En el primer capÇðtulo, examino brevemente las influencias de los libros de caballerÇða en el Quijote y, a raÇðz de perder sus ǧltimas colonias, analizo tambiǸn la escritura densa de la GeneraciÇün del 98 y cÇümo se relaciona con la obra de Unamuno. En el capÇðtulo 2, me centro en la complejidad de los personajes principales de ambas novelas y las maneras en que sus cualidades distintas preparan el terreno para la creaciÇün de una metaficciÇün que sobrepasa los lÇðmites de las pÇginas de la novela. Armado con un buen conocimiento de don Quijote y Augusto PǸrez, intento demostrar en el capÇðtulo 3 cÇümo los prÇülogos, la narraciÇün y el contenido ayudan al lector a confundir los diferentes mundos de la novela con la realidad. AdemÇs, al hacer borrosa la lÇðnea entre la realidad y la ficciÇün, Cervantes y Unamuno cruzan esta frontera al meterse en sus propios mundos ficticios por medios explÇðcitos y por otros mÇs sutiles. En el ǧltimo capÇðtulo, demuestro las maneras en que los autores dependen de sus creaciones y cÇümo las intenciones del autor con respecto a la muerte de sus protagonistas resultan no sÇülo en una muerte ambigua, sino que se unen el uno al otro al inmortalizar al autor y al personaje. | |
