Dona Perfecta

Her unwavering adherence to tradition feels both admirable and tragic. I'm curious how much of her character reflects Galdós's views on Spanish society.

The clash felt so personal and immediate, almost like a battle between modern ideas and old values. Did this resonate differently for readers from different backgrounds?

The detailed depiction of the town adds a layer of authenticity and claustrophobia. I wonder if Galdós based it on a real place or created it purely from imagination.
