Abstract

This article aims to contribute to the analysis of Ricote’s discourse (Quixote II, 54) from a specific perspective, that of the converso’s condition (converted both from the Islam –moriscos– and from Judaism) during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in the Iberian Peninsula and its exiles. According to the standpoint assumed in this study, Ricote’s discourse offers a revealing approach to the converso’s condition, to its contradictions and dilemmas, novelizing in a suggestive manner some of the paradoxes inherent to that condition. In this regard, the analysis of the passage will exemplify the interaction, overlapping and conflict of voices and perspectives that characterized both the self-perception and the representation of the conversos.
