Aura by Carlos Fuentes
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages. Aura was first published in 1962 by Carlos Fuentes. It is a novel filled with dualities and comparisons such as that of masculine and feminine, young and old, the beautiful and the deteriorating, life and death and darkness and light. It is this very combination of opposites which makes the novel so compelling to read and it becomes a novel of changing and at the same time, the things that remain the same. Bibliography lists one source.

Benito Perez Galdos' "Dona Perfecta" – Religion And Spirituality
[ send me this essay ]
4 pages in length. The obvious implication of religious and spiritual intolerance sets the overall theme for Perez Galdos' (2004) Dona Perfecta, a novel about Spain's historic tendency to castigate those who did not fall in line with faith unity. Pepe represents the antiestablishment 'villain' who is not only proud of his personal – if not entirely outsider – beliefs, but he does not hesitate to express them, much to the chagrin of community outrage. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Berceo/Virgin Mary as Mother/Religious Symbol
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay that discusses this thirteenth century poetry. Gonzalo de Berceo, thirteenth century Spanish poet, focused on the subject of the Virgin Mary and her importance to Christian worship in his text Milagros de Nuestra Senora (Miracles of Our Lady). Berceo begins with an elaborate allegory that pictures him as a pilgrim finding a field that he describes in a manner that immediately equates it with Paradise and the Garden of Eden. In this new "Eden," it is Mary who is the new "Eve." This allegorical beginning is the principal theme of Berceo's work, as he describes Mary as the central symbol of the new age brought about by Christianity. Just as Eve caused the downfall of humanity, the Virgin is instrumental in its redemption. No additional sources cited.

Berceo/Virgin Mary as Mother/Religious Symbol
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay that looks at Gonzalo de Berceo's thirteenth century masterpiece Milagros de Nuestra Senora (Miracles of Our Lady), which consists of a series of narratives that relate many of the miracles performed by the Virgin Mary. In this work, Mary is essentially the protagonist who battles against the forces of evil, Satan devils, in order to aid humanity in the goal of reaching salvation. In so doing, the Virgin is pictured as humanity's greatest and most powerful advocate in the war between the forces of Heaven and Hell. Human beings are the fallible souls in the middle, who would undoubtedly fail to achieve Paradise if not for the intercession of the Virgin. No additional sources cited.
