Abstract

The purpose of this article is to make a comparative study between the Arabic and Spanish characterization of the go-between: Umm Rašīd, heroine of Ibn Dāniyāl’s first shadow play, Ṭayf al-Khayāl and Rojas’ Celestina, principal protagonist of the Tragicomedy of Calisto y Melibea. Two masters of the art of seduction, designed within the heart of literatura tradition, painting of a living world and a reflection of the immediate knowledge that the authors had of their social scene. First of all, the study applies the criticism of the Celestinesque model to concrete the characterization of the go-between. The systematic comparison of the texts reveals more clear resemblances between both protagonists.
