Men were higher than women. The knight was considered high class and the old lady was udder class. The roles were almost flipped in this story, the knight was not educated like the women were and the ladies seemed as a higher class, even though he was technically higher than the old lady.

surrounding the tale only pertain to the female characters, making them seem as if they are crazy; it severely delegitimizes their actions and attitudes. The old woman who eventually marries the knight is relentlessly made fun of—one scene in particular shows her face up close licking her lips, telling the knight “I want to be your wife and your love!” (BBC 4:43) while his face is utterly disgusted. This depicts

opinions on the Church’s claim to holding the key to a singular truth. The overarching theme of Loyola’s religious instructions is the unquestioned adherence to this truth, which Cervantes mocks through his novel’s protagonist’s blind adherence to knight-errantry and chivalric pursuits. Juxtaposing these two texts is valuable, as Loyola’s utilitarian religious treatise is created to respond to the threat of Protestantism, while Cervante’s elaborate novel subtly mocks the doctrine of the Catholic
