豪尔赫 / Jorge of Burgos

豪尔赫 / Jorge of Burgos is the blind elder monk in [[TheNameOfTheRose|《玫瑰的名字》 / The Name of the Rose]] whose argument against laughter anchors 53.玫瑰的名字（上）：真与假，正与邪，诠释与过度诠释. The episode presents him as a severe religious authority figure: he rebukes the monks for laughing at grotesque manuscript images, cites religious texts, warns of the Antichrist, and treats laughter as spiritually dangerous.

In the source, Jorge matters less as a simple suspect than as the pole opposite [[WilliamOfBaskerville|巴斯克维尔的威廉 / William of Baskerville]]. William argues that laughter can coexist with truth, while Jorge treats comedy as a crack in authority. That makes him the central figure for Laughter Against Authority and a key part of the novel’s struggle over Knowledge Monopoly and interpretation.

54.玫瑰的名字（下）：真与假，正与邪，诠释与过度诠释 reveals Jorge as the monastery’s hidden center of control. He poisons [[AristotlePoeticsBookTwo|亚里士多德《诗学》第二卷]], manipulates fear of [[BookOfRevelation|Revelation]] signs, uses other monks’ desires and jealousies, and destroys the library while trying to keep laughter from gaining philosophical authority.
