In order to avoid repeating «he or she», etc., I refer hereafter to the Reader alternately as «he» or «she».

Especially in Part Two, it is often difficult to be certain when a particular narrator is misreading Don Quijote's adventures and when he is intentionally giving an ironic or deceitful reading. Whether the narrators are actually misreading the situations and characters or intentionally giving ironic (mis)readings, I will call their readings «misreadings», since at any rate they at least appear to be misreadings.

See Parr, especially pp. 11-12.

I would like to thank Professors Thomas A. O'Connor and Salvador J. Fajardo for their encouragement and for advising me in the revision of this paper.

	Dicen que la variación
	hace a la naturaleza
	colma de gusto y belleza,
	y está muy puesto en razón.
	Un manjar a la contina
	enfada, y un solo objeto
	a los ojos del discreto
	da disgusto y amohína.
	Un solo vestido cansa.
	En fin, con la variedad
	se muda la voluntad
	y el espíritu descansa.
