The respective interpolations are: Celia's death and Arsenio's murder of his son; Selvagia's tale; the trio of Selvagia-Ismenia-Alanio, and the love of Arselio and Arsenio for Belisa.

The role of violence in La Galatea has been widely studied, although in a different context from the one considered here. See Barbara Mujica, «Antiutopian Elements in the Spanish Pastoral Novel», Kentucky Romance Quarterly, XXVI (1979) 263-82; and John Cull, «Another Look at Love in La Galatea», Cervantes and the Pastoral, eds. José Labrador and Juan Fernández (Cleveland: Cleveland State U. P., 1986), 63-80.

El Saffar draws some interesting conclusions from the same observation. See her article cited above.
