• Resumen

  • This article focuses on the marvelous adventure of Rutilio, the dance instructor whose tale involving lycanthropy presents, in Persiles y Sigismunda, a problem of verisimilitude. Tracing the etymology of his name to the color red, and reviewing the negative associations of red in humans, this article maintains that Rutilio is indeed a liar, a character whose puzzling story is a challenge Cervantes sets to his discerning readers.
