In El pastor Quijótiz (1969), Camón Aznar resorted to the antagonism ideal vs. reality, characteristic of many recreations of Cervantes' masterpiece, to explore the problem he had in combining the ideas of his freethinking youth with his later role as an active intellectual under Franco. El pastor Quijótiz is an attempt at saving the liberal intellectuals' utopianism of the early 20th century by transforming it into a form of private spirituality that serves as a comforter in the face of the surrounding social injustice. Camón Aznar builds upon the figure of the rebellious Don Quixote created by Unamuno, who he had admired in his youth. However, he changes the figure by adding a resigned victimization of Stoic- Christian origin.
