La Régente

The small town of Vetusta feels almost like a character itself, embodying the hypocrisy and repression. I'm curious whether the setting was inspired by real places or purely fictional.

Her desires and the social constraints she faces create such a tense dynamic. It made me wonder how much of her struggle is relatable today versus a product of its time.

The criticism of the church and societal norms feels very pointed. I wonder if this was inspired by personal experiences or a broader critique of 19th-century Spanish society.
