Using the appearance of ¿bodas rústicas¿ in both Don Quixote and the Persiles, this brief study attempts to underscore further and deeper similarities in the allegorical presentation they share. As a result, notable variations between those two Cervantine presentations of the same motif are seen, in terms of meaningful literary interpretation, to be far more parallel than might appear at a first reading. The substantive difference between the allegorical content of the two ¿bodas¿ is understood as a reflection of the very different aesthetic criteria that centered the novelist's creativity in each case. In summarizing it is hypothesized that the much closer parallel found between the two allegorical renditions of the motif might well suggest a fairly close date of common literary creation.
