Personajes simuladores y simulados, entrelazados en el <em>Quijote</em>

Abstract

one of the keys for understanding the ruling universe is the nature of the interconnected duality that governs it. It is neither completely monistic, neither absolutely nihilistic, according to the principle of the Platonic symploke (the sophist 251, 255). the validity of the entanglement between "not everything are monisms" and the fact that reality is not completely "nihilist" will be used as a logic tool to understand the alternation in the understanding of the conclusions of the existences of several of the protagonists of the Quixote. on the one hand, it is the strange case of the suicidal shepherd Grisóstomo, in desperation for his loved marcela, which is studied in the context of a similar case, the death of anselmo in the tale of ill-advised Curiosity. on the other hand it is the case of the exemplary archetypical death of don Quixote and his revival in alonso Quijano "the good", which presents a similar case of (mis)understanding of the symploke principle. In conclusion, the ontological tragedy arising from not understanding or questioning the Platonic principle of the symploke will contribute to explain the attachment, identification, and nature of the entanglement between reality and fiction in selected cervantine characters. this will be achieved by focusing in both their self-awareness as creative beings and their more or less voluntary inclusion in, or exclusion from, their own simulated realities.
