The perspective of The Praise of Folly is two-fold. The first is that of Erasmus, the book's author, and the second is that of Folly, the book's main character. The relationship between the opinions and ideas of Erasmus and Folly is complex, for it is not always clear how much of Folly's opinions he believes himself.
