Abstract
Abstract: The only comic character of Os Lusíadas, Fernão Veloso, is the spokesman in two important moments of the poem. I shall argue that there is only a difference in degree between these two episodes (the meeting with the African natives at the bay of St. Helena and the encounter with the nymphs at the Island of Love), since in both cases the task of reading is thematized by Camões.
