In this drama, an imaginary meeting between H (Hamlet) and Q (Alonso Quixano) takes place during a full moon evening, at a railway station at the beginning of the 20th century. We consider that analyzing this play by Lugones is a good way to approach the world view of these two characters, their opposite (but complementary) conceptions on politics and philosophy, their different styles in facing social injustice and their ways of relating to women. To understand Lugones, we will review (in a comparative-contrastive exercise) some fundamental topics such as justice, love, power and violence (among others) which appear in The Tragegy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark and El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha and were compiled in the critical essay Hamlet and Don Quixote (1860) by the Russian writer Iván Serguéievich Turguénev.   El argentino Leopoldo Lugones escribió una breve obra de teatro quimérico titulada Dos ilustres lunáticos o La divergencia universal -incluida en el poemario Lunario Sentimental (1909)- como contribución a la difusión del conocimiento de Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra y William Shakespeare. En ella se relata un encuentro imaginario entre H (Hamlet) y Q (Alonso Quijano), una noche de luna llena, en una estación de ferrocarril, a principios del siglo XX. Nos pareció oportuno recurrir al análisis de esta pieza teatral de Lugones, para decodificar la cosmovisión de estos dos personajes, y sus concepciones opuestas (pero complementarias) sobre política y filosofía; sus estilos diferentes de lucha contra la injusticia social y sus modos de concebir y relacionarse con las mujeres. Para entender a Lugones, repasaremos (con un ejercicio comparativo-contrastivo) algunos temas, como la justicia, el amor, el poder y la violencia (entre otros), que aparecen en The Tragegy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark  y El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha y, recopilados en el ensayo crítico Hamlet y Don Quijote (1860) del escritor ruso Iván Serguéievich Turguénev. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/telondefondo/article/view/8442 10.34096/tdf.n32.8442 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/telondefondo/article/view/8442/8331 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/telondefondo/article/view/8442/8472 telondefondo.
