Jimena Zambrano, The University of Western Ontario

Abstract

This thesis compares the visual representations of Bartolomé Esteban Murillo and the novels La vida de Lazarillo de Tormes y de sus fortunas y adversidades and Rinconete y Cortadillo, to demonstrate their inter artistic relationship. Utilizing a base of socio-critical and semiotic theories, the construction of a reality within the works through the representations of children characters will be studied.
