| description | This article takes into account Fernando de Rojas’s La Celestina and compare some of the core features of the homonymous protagonist with some Shakespearean characters, examples mainly taken from The Tempest and A Midsummer’s Night Dream. Although a century divides the two authors and there is no recorded evidence of a connection between them, a comparative analysis is still feasible. While it may be impossible to establish a concrete link between Shakespeare and de Rojas, it may be beneficial to consider how certain core features of Celestina are portrayed within some Shakespearean protagonists. This has much more to do with the evolution of literature itself and how its boundaries are not only fluid but also how they intertwine in many occasions amongst themselves. |
