Ginés de Pasamonte

Ginés de Pasamonte is a fascinating character in Miguel de Cervantes' novel Don Quixote. He first appears as a criminal who is freed by Don Quixote, but he later reappears as a puppeteer who claims that he can talk to his monkey. Ginés is also a writer, and he tells Don Quixote that he is in the process of writing his autobiography. This autobiography is said to be so good that it will make Lazarillo de Tormes look like a bad book in comparison. Ginés's life is full of adventure, and he is a complex and well-developed character.
