Summary/Abstract: Analyzing parody in this contemporary literary and methodological sphere may appear to be anachronistic, considering the specific accounts, that represent quality base, and upgrade the theoretical postulates. Yet, the idea of reactualizing parody in the light of one classic text, such as the novel Don Quixote of Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra is not aspiring to provoke transformation of the common theoretical stands (antic, modern, and postmodern), nor their confrontation in order to achieve an isolated valorization. The primary intent is to underline once more the impossibility parody to be connected with certain generic concept (rendering this novel parody of chivalric romances), and then this intent is spread through the multidirectional analysis of parody, the fact that seems to be done necessarily, and comprehensively.
