Life is a Dream
Question 1 (4 Pages)
1. Provide a very short summary of the plot (no more than half a page).
2. Tell me what the salient themes in this literary work are.
3. Analyze two or three of these themes and explain how they reflect the culture, values, politics, social and economic structures of early modern Spain. You are using these texts as primary sources. Therefore, your use of them should answer the question: What do they tell you about the history of Spain?
4. Place these works within a specific historical context.
Question 2 (4 Pages)
1. In the last four chapters of Spanish Society, I attempt to recreate the patterns of everyday life and Spanish attitudes towards honor, dress, food, travel, entertainment, magic, representations and the like. Select two of these themes and discuss them in detail with references to the primary sources you have read for the class and the historical context provided by the textbooks and lecture.
