Abstract

One of the basic pillars on which rests the manifold and colourful Libro del caballero Zifar is the hero’s journey motif, as a possibility of progress and improvement in many aspects and ambits of his life (spiritual, mental, material, social). In this paper we shall demonstrate the similarities and differences between each journey of the two most important heroes in the oeuvre, Zifar and Roboán, and how both characters confront the journey meanwhile it, with its entire vicissitudes, goes by.
