| Summary | "El criticón (tomo 2 de 2)" by Baltasar Gracián y Morales is a philosophical work written in the 17th century. The text explores themes of virtue, hypocrisy, and the nature of human existence, often employing allegorical characters to convey deeper moral lessons. Central to the narrative are Critilo and Andrenio, who engage in dialogues that scrutinize the virtues and vices present in society. The opening of the work presents an allegorical and philosophical discussion that centers on the nature of virtue and the pitfalls of human existence. Critilo and Andrenio are initially depicted in a perilous situation, receiving wisdom from a divine figure who guides them towards pursuing the elusive concept of true virtue, represented by the character Virtelia. The text highlights the struggle between the enticing yet superficial promises of fortune and the arduous path of genuine moral integrity, presenting a critical lens on societal values and the often deceptive appearances of virtue.
