Abstract
This article analyses several episodes of Cervantes's oeuvre that explicitly or implicitly refer to incestuous and/or rape events, episodes identified in Don Quixote, in the Novelas Ejemplares “La ilustre fregona” and “La fuerza de la sangre,” in the comedy La entretenida and in Persiles y Sigismunda. The analysis aims to reveal the multifaceted network of social, religious, and symbolic meanings that Cervantes's texts establish regarding both transgressions and the complex ethical positioning of the intentio operis. Likewise, it considers some of the questions that the aforementioned transgressive isotopies raise in the context of the Golden Age.
