actions throughout the novel, from his underground resistance
days in Seville, Spain, to his love affair with "The Mute" up to
his last actions taken in freeing the captured Indians. All of

European he was led in directions which would have been
considered socially subversive by his peers. Bibliography lists

comparisons such as that of masculine and feminine, young and
old, the beautiful and the deteriorating, life and death and

novel of changing and at the same time, the things that remain

4 pages in length.

Berceo/Virgin Mary as Mother/Religious Symbol
[ send me this paper ]
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 paper ]
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 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.
