¿Las dos doncellas¿ explores the use of language as a mediating instrument in the complex interplay of reason and appetite in human love. Cervantes employs confessional discourse as a major structural component in this fugue-like story, and as an exemplary model of how language can be used constructively as a vehicle of love, peace, harmony, and reconciliation within the social community, and between humans and God. The pilgrimage at the end of ¿Las dos doncellas,¿one of the least appreciated aspects of this underappreciated novela, plays an integral part in widening the exemplary focus of the tale from the level of the individual to that of collective experience, and in expanding its exemplarity beyond the confines of the pages and into readers' lives
