AB This undergraduate dissertation comparatively analyses how fictionality is built in Miguel de Cervantes’ El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha (1605) and Salman Rushdie’s Quichotte (2019) with the aid of the Possible Worlds Theory. The aim is to determine how the theory can be used to study fictionality in these novels and how it accentuates the social critique the authors were striving for. The novels illustrate the societies of their respective timeframes in a light that causes the traditional perception of reality to become oneiric, calling into question the principles and values of the society of each respective author. By providing a method to study multiple layering of meanings and multidisciplinary nature, the Possible Worlds Theory proves to be a most suitable tool for the comparative analysis of fiction in Cervantes's masterpiece and Rushdie’s novel.
