LA PRECEPTIVA DEL PERFECTO CORTESANO EN CAUTIVERIO FELIZ DE PINEDA Y BASCUÑÁN.

A close reading to Pineda and Bascuñán's Cautiverio Feliz, undoubtedly, would wake us a series of asociations, not only with other forms of historical literatura from the epoch, but also with other works that integrate some elements such as: kinds of speech structure and kinds of instrumental profiles. In this sense, reading Pineda's work would lead us to Castiglione's El Cortesano, because many of the characteristic of the perfect gentleman presented in El Cortesano, are inserted in some characters of Pineda's work. It is not strange to find in El Cautiverio, among other things, the qualities of a perfect gentleman, shaped on the natives, virtues, virtues that also adorn some creole and old spaniards.
