AB - Along with warfare to regain territory in the 13–14th centuries, an effort was made to integrate the Arabic culture of Al-Andalus into Christian areas. Rather than inculcating the Christian ideology or morality, Don Juan Manuel’s Count Lucanor conveys the popular and worldly human affairs of southern Spain, where the worlds of Islam and Christianity coexisted. This study aims to grasp the objective of the narrative in light of the Christian values and Islamic views on marriage, focusing on one of the 51 short stories in the collection: the story of a defiant and disobedient woman, and her husband who tries to tame her. This study also aims to shed light on the patriarchal fantasy of dominance over women, by applying Bakhtin’s principle of polyphony to the analysis of the narrative structure of Count Lucanor, which exhibits the characteristics of oral narratives that were popular in the Arabic world.
