  • This paper is an interpretation of the text in the Coloquio de los perros where Berganza heeds the flattery of an ¿extremely beautiful girl¿ whom the dog approaches ¿as if to see what she wanted¿ (to seize the meat he was carrying). The text is permeated with eroticism. Berganza approaches ¿as if to see,¿ but his private reasons are less admissible. Hence the pun: ¿flesh [in the basket] has gone to flesh¿ [of erotic desire]. We explain the trick of the clog and interpret the cryptic message: ¿just a hair of the wolf, and that from its forehead.¿
