[D66] The Dialogue of the Dogs

[A.O.]

Cervantes 'de dialoog van de honden' is de oorsprong van de 
psychoanalyse. Jeugdliteratuur van Freud. Dus wanneer Fluks het heeft 
over twee honden gaat het eigenlijk over psychoanalyse...

A Story and dialogue that took place between Scipio and Berganza, who 
are commonly known as Mahudes's dogs and who belong to the Hospital of 
Resurrection, which is in the city of Valladolid, outside the Campo 
Gate. (250)[4] Berganza's story begins with the description of life in a 
slaughter house in Seville, where he was born. He gives a lot of details 
about the world of the underworld, thieves, and villains. Scipio is 
adding notes and leads the statement giving advice on how to narrate 
properly :If you’re going to take this long to describe the condition of 
the masters you’ve had and the failings of their professions, [...] I 
want to point something out to you, and you’ll see the truth of it when 
I relate my life story. Some stories are intrinsically appealing, others 
are made appealing in the way they are told(253).[4] Here Cervantes 
offers the readers, through the dogs’ speeches, his own narrative 
poetics. The ‘colloquium’ finishes with a fragment that carries the 
readers back to the principal narrative of the short story, named The 
Deceitful Marriage,[5] the narrative principal frame, thanks to which 
the circle is closed with Peralta and Ensign Campuzano great admirers of 
the invention of The Dialogue of the Dogs .
