Francisco José Martín 
The power struggle among Don Quixote, the galley slaves, and their guards lends itself to interpretation as a Bakhtinian dynamic wherein the plurality of opposed discourses overpowers the monoglossia which authority figures attempt to impose. Using strategies such as the appropriation of another's discourse, hybridization, and polyglossia, the characters subvert, first, the official discourse, and then that of Don Quixote. This process is carried out with the complicity of the narrator, who inverts the traditional social hierarchy by privileging the marginal over the central. In this episode Cervantes demolishes monoglossic discourse without, however, providing a substitute; the heteroglossia of discourses in constant struggle is his only alternative to discursive hierarchy and authoritarianism.
