Lazarrio De Tormes

In this essay, the term narrative authority will be primarily considered as the relationship among the narrator and the story. The scope of examination will be composed of two main questions: to what extend the story is compatible with the narrator Lazaro, and “what are some of the cultural and political stakes of claims to textual authority”(1). Next, it is essential to note that the original story was written in Span

When one goes further on the Lazaro’s use of language, especially with relation to his masters, it can be observed that he mostly defends himself in a manner like “you are not going to say I have drunk it are you?”(p30) or “you are not going to say it’s my fault, are you?”(p34). This approach of him usually incites his masters and leads them to find out that Lazaro is guilty. Hence, it can be said that Lazaro’s use of language hinders him most of the time.

ish and translated to English. Mostly, the idioms and secondary meanings of sentences can lose their original significance. Hence, during this translation, it is inevitable that the style and the language may altered to some extend, such as the ‘wearing shoes’ concept in chapter 4 or “you have got more sauce than the meat” example in chapter3(p57). Besides, the anonymity may come up with more freedom in using the language, freedom to comment, and to make statements. In other words, the narrative authority can be more criticizing, as it is, while blaming his priest master as being hypocritical and cheater.

However, there are some cases in which the audience begin to suspect about who the actual narrative authority is. In other words, it is sometimes surprising for the audience to hear such similes or statements from Lazaro. For instance, he resembles “when one hole is closed another open”(p45) situation to Penelope and her weaving nights and says “whatever he wove by day I tore at night” or he says “the worries of the King of France ought not to have stopped me sleeping”(p44). It is questionable that how Lazaro have heard about Penelope even though he is illiterate. To give example for statements: At the very beginning of the book, he asks that “how many people must there be in the world who run away from others in fright because they can’t see themselves?”(p26). Here, it should be reminded that he was just a little boy when he asked this question. At another instance, he asks “how many men like him(poiting at his gentleman master) must be scattered around the world, who suffer for the sake of their ridiculous honour what they certainly wouldn’t suffer for Your sake?”(p54). It is possible to increase these kind of examples. What common in all these is that they deviate from the general style and seem to be added someone except Lazaro. The same Lazaro who makes such kind of analysis and similarities is sometimes unable to grasp what is ha
