| Sumario: | This work analizes Don Juan Manuel's didactic-exemplary narrative writing, focusing on a single exemplum of his most renowned work. This particular story is selected for its characteristics as a miniature novel, rich in characters and vicissitudes. The author's compositional resources are reviewed, in terms of the general structure, the traditional models used, the general theme of the story, referring to loyalty (according to chivalric models). Finally, the analysis is extended to other themes present in the apologue, that is, the story told by Patronio, such as the hermeneutic activity proposed by the author and the difficulty in capturing the intention behind the words and the facts. All this accounts for the semantic density of a text that, at first reading, seems plain and simple, a mere instrument for the teachings that the author wants to communicate. |
