Description
Summary:The comical nature of interludes, its funny purpose and its short extension conditioned the way Quevedo characterized the female figures in his own interludes. Contrary to what happens in other satirical and burlesque texts by don Francisco, some positive features —more kind and pleasant— are present in the caricature of those figures. A variety of examples show an important reduction in verbal violence, witty sayings and misogynist remarks related to those female types. Furthermore, the different structure of the interludes (mockery, figure’s review or ambient setting) implies significant differences in its presentation: more dramatic in those of mockery, more verbal in those of figure’s review and in the middle of these two possibilities in those of ambient setting.
