This chapter discusses Dongo as an indvidual and a representative of the ideal of Spanish masculinity. Both the fictional versions of Dongo and the real historical person possessed the essential characteristics for a man at the pinnacle of honor: wealth, piety, distinguished Spanish lineage, and charity. He also showed loyalty to the Spanish crown through his service to the Mexican viceroys. Dongo’s ancestry and actions exemplify the ideals of the privileged few at the top of the eighteenth-century Novohispanic social pyramid.
