The document discusses the general characteristics of La Novela Picaresca, a Spanish literary genre. Some of the key characteristics include: an open structure with disconnected adventures; double temporality where the narrator speaks of past characters from the present; and autobiographical elements where the narrator knows the characters' past, present, and future events from a first-person perspective. A central figure of the genre is the "p鱈caro," or anti-hero, who is witty but amoral, of humble origins, and a thief and liar. The document asks if these characteristics apply to the specific work "Rinconete y Cortadillo."
