Bernal Díaz construye su discurso con un lenguaje cargado de metáforas, alusiones a otros textos históricos y literarios, refranes populares y ecos o acciones rítmicas que, entre líneas, comunican mensajes trascendentales. Su diálogo constante con sus lectores logra también un efecto novelístico:nos hace trabajar con la crónica, cuestionarla, construirla al leerla, para luego releerla en busca de pistas que ayuden a su comprensión. Osvaldo Estrada analiza esta cualidad de la obra del soldado cronista y describe los ecos de la misma en la literatura mexicana contemporánea.
