Which one of the following words best describes the heroes of Cervantes’ Don Quixote, Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Thomas Mann’s The Confessions of Felix Krull?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Picaro names the roguish or wandering adventurer associated with picaresque narrative, the broad tradition invoked by these protagonists. A ficelle is a supporting character used to elicit information or facilitate exposition; a mannequin is a model or dummy, and a philanderer is defined by amorous inconstancy. Those do not identify the common literary role intended.
