* AccidentalAesop: The Blind Man savagely abuses his guide, who eventually turns at him and capitalizes on his blindness to make him pay. For such a wise character, it's still bewildering that he is even surprised that this could ever happen. The resultant moral is one the author probably didn't intend: jerkassery is not always rational, and some people are such douchebags that they mistreat even those they depend on for dear life.
* AluminumChristmasTrees: To many modern people, to find a black man portrayed sympathetically and in an almost color-blind way in a 16th novel set in the Spanish Empire might be nothing sort of earth-shaking, especially given that Spaniards of the period carry the popular reputation of being essentialy the Renaissance Nazis. In reality, racism would only appear two centuries after the novel is set, and due to the sheer intermarrying and mix of races that took place in the Spanish Empire from its very beginnings, it would never really catch on there.
* AudienceColoringAdaptation: Sort of. Back in the 2000s, Spanish cheese brand Gran Capitán (named after the [[UsefulNotes/GonzaloFernandezDeCordoba Great Captain]] himself) featured a popular series of ads that starred Lázaro and the Blind Man in situations typical of the novel. However, the ads featured wholly original stories and a Blind Man who was an AdaptationalNiceGuy by an enormous margin, so people first exposed to the ''Lazarillo'' through them tend to be shocked at actually reading the book and finding out the ads never happened and how cruel the old man was.
* ValuesResonance: The novel features an instance of a black man whose race nobody comments upon (only Lázaro and the man's son are scared of him as little children because he was the first black they saw), not even after being tried and flogged, and he is also portrayed just as sympathetically as Lázaro and his family, with the reason of his flogging being something virtually all the characters in the novel do and for which they often pay dearly too (namely, stealing food). Historians have cited the novel as an instrumental work to teach how surprisingly race-friendly Golden Age Spain was, where all kinds of ''mestizaje'' between whites, blacks, Northern Africans and Amerindians were happening - something the novel itself shows in Lázaro's own mulatto half-brother.
