| Sumario: | This article explores the bond of friendship that arises between two narrative characters as a result of a single combat, where the defeated character submits to or befriends the victorious character. This bond is explored through the principles of Cicero and Aristotle, as well as Vladimir Propp's (1928) narratological framework, specifically his functional analysis of hostile donors who transform into auxiliaries. These principles are illustrated through an examination of the Hispanic comics El Guerrero del Antifaz (1944) and El Capitán Trueno (1956), highlighting their connections to the Hispanic chivalric tradition and the relationships of friendship and brotherhood among knights. Additionally, the article demonstrates that the bond forged in battle can also extend to relationships between men and women, supported by various examples from these comics and the broader Hispanic chivalric tradition. |
