In research the picaresque novel has often been linked to the discrimination of New Christians in early modern Spain. So far, the erotic explosiveness of the narratives has been neglected due to the questionable reputation of the converts. Since these people did not have ›pure blood‹, it was common sense that they could not have pure thoughts. Against this background Timo Kehren supports the idea that the pícaros understand themselves as inhabitants of a kingdom comparable to biblical Sodom and Gomorrah. However, they are not the origin of all evil but more so the symptom of a corrupted society. Thus, lust becomes a medium that unveils social conflicts.
