Abstract: The impertinent curiosity of a foolish husband reveals a very fixed set of mores that trigger the transformation of woman who evolves from being a submissive housewife into a courageous lover. Three characters in the interpolated novel “El curioso impertinente,” part of Cervantes’ monumental work Don Quixote (1605), display their feminine and masculine selves through a series of mishaps that will eventually lead to their doom. This article concentrates on three of the best-known literary translations of the interpolated novel “El curioso impertinente” into English. A careful analysis of the translation of key passages will weigh on the individual translational choices in order to determine how three translators have transformed the Spanish tale into English according to their particular understanding of the representations of femininity and masculinity reflected in this Cervantine melancholic tale.
