It compares his interpretive abilities to those of Leocadia and Doña Estefanía, both of whom prove to be better readers of Rodolfo —namely, his predilection for female beauty— and as a result are able to entice him to marry Leocadia. Despite the fact that Rodolfo's crime remains unpunished and he, unrepentant, a defense is provided for Leocadia on the levels of story and discourse. On the level of story Doña Estefanía's intercession brings about the marriage and the subsequent restoration of Leocadia's honor. On the level of discourse the ironic imposition of the conventional “happy ending” as well as the sustained narrative condemnation of the crime throughout the novel reveals a criticism of seventeenth-century Spanish society and its treatment of women.

In the socio-historical reality of military skirmishes since time immemorial, the rape of the female (and male) occupants of conquered territory was as ubiquitous and as opportunistic an act as one could imagine by which to brutalize and demean the populace. I will analyze two romances-"Romance cuarto. De cómo don Rodrigo de Vivar mató á dos moros que forzaban una dama mora y la rescató" and "Soldados forzadores"-both of which describe the rape of women by Spanish Christian soldiers. While Spanish Christian soldiers might rape women from opposing factions as a way to demonstrate their dominance over that particular group, they might just as likely rape women from their own group if given the opportunity to do so.

In the seventeenth-century collection, two particular ballads deal with the crime of rape. They are titled “Curiosa xacara nueva, que haze relacion de vna rara crueldad, cometida por una Muger” (Ms. 18108) and “Famosa xacara nveva, en que se da qventa, y declara el mas fiero delito que se ha visto en nuestros tiempos, sucedido en el termino de Ciudad-Real el qual cometió un Negro” (Ms. 114-20).2 Characteristically, the broad sheets—“a mitad de camino entre el texto oral y el documento escrito” (Marco 336)—contain an often explanatory illustration at the heading of the first page (336) followed by a summary and finally by the ballad itself. The pliego suelto represents a literary form that became popular after the advent of the printing press to put literary artifacts into the hands of those who had no access to libraries (Rodríguez-Moñino 12). According to Antonio Rodríguez-Moñino,

Parker Aronson incorporates a socio-historical approach in which she considers crime and deviance committed by women in early modern Spain and the correlation between crime and the growth of urban centers. She also considers female deviance more broadly to encompass sexual and religious deviance while investigating the relationship between these pliegos sueltos and the transgressive and disruptive nature of female criminality. In addition to an introduction to this fascinating subgenre of early modern Spanish literature, Parker Aronson analyzes the representations of women as bandits and highway robbers; as murderers; as prostitutes, libertines, and actors; as Christian renegades; as enslaved people; as witches; as miscegenationists; and as the recipients of punishment.

When she vigorously resists the Comendador's attempts to seduce her, he turns her over to his soldiers to be gang-raped like one of the spoils of war, telling her, "Ya no mía, del bagaje / del exército has de ser" (2.1270).

La prioridad que le da Sancho al hermano y su consideración de él como cónyuge apropiado y económicamente beneficioso para su hija reflejan una conciencia de la diferencia social que existe entre ellos. Aunque a Sancho se le ha elevado su rango social como gobernador de la ínsula, esta elevación es ilusoria, una que Sancho no ha internalizado, y la desigualdad entre él y el hermano permanece.
