Abstract

Since the publication and translations of the greatest Cervantine novel, Don Quixote, various authors have written and rewritten, recreated and reaccentuated the images of knight and squire. In his play The Infinite Journey of Sancho Panza, Alfonso Sastre reaccentuates and redistributes the roles of Don Quijote and Sancho. This article presents an analysis of the cognition of reaccentuated Sancho and concludes that due to his theory of mind, preserved in Sastre’s work, the reader cannot differentiate between Sancho of Cervantes and Sancho of Sastre.
