The diabolic metamorphosis and its images en Quevedo's work

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the diabolic images in the work of Francisco de Quevedo from two perspectives: the terrifying mask and comic caricature. The diabolic spirit in Quevedo's work has several nuances that derive from the author's ideological belief: the tempting devil, the rebellious demon, the demon destroyer, the devil burlesque, as well as satanic things, nations, and characters. The study is based on the following works: la Pol?Ática de Dios, gobierno de Cristo y tiran?Áa de Satan? s, Los sue??os, La hora de todos, la Espa??a defendida, el Mundo caduco y desvar?Áos de la edad, La vida del Busc??n, la Execraci??n contra los jud?Áos, la Visita y anatom?Áa de la cabeza del Cardenal Armando de Richelieu, Alabanzas de la moneda, Libro de todas las cosas y otras muchas m? s, Carta al Rey Cristian?Ásimo Lu?Ás XIII, Carta a don Francisco de Oviedo, La musa Cl?Áo del parnaso espa??ol and Poes?Áa sat?Árico-burlesca de Quevedo.
