 Preciosa is depicted as beautiful, talented, intelligent, wise beyond her years, honest, and trustworthy.It appears that Cervantes is attempting to acknowledge a version of the gypsy life completely contrary to the stereotypical depiction.The problem comes in at the end of the story, in that moment of anagnorisis, when it is revealed that Preciosa is not a true gypsy girl but rather a young woman of noble birth.
