| description | This essay is a reflection on how Fernando de Rojas expresses himself through Celestina’s voice. The thesis is that he used the Medieval misogynistic tradition, which was didactic, as an excuse for his only objective: to create a harsh critic against the old Christian society. For this purpose, he uses typical converso techniques, such as irony, and his own strategy: the use of «palabras preñadas» (those called «bivocal words» by Bajtin, which consist of the fusion of two consciences in one voice.) This essay considers honra and remedio as the main «palabras preñadas». From their analysis it is possible to unravel the author’s subversive objective. Rojas voice is identified with Celestina’s voice and the old whore will be viewed as the absolute protagonist and as the ideal historical subject for Rojas' effective and concealed social satire. |
