| Summary | "The Infidel; or, the Fall of Mexico. Vol. II." by Robert Montgomery Bird is a historical romance written in the early 19th century. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, specifically focusing on the characters Hernán Cortés and Juan Lerma, among others, as they navigate themes of loyalty, betrayal, and cultural conflict during this tumultuous period. At the start of the volume, we witness a grand assembly in Tezcuco, where Cortés reviews his forces and prepares for the conquest of Tenochtitlan. The atmosphere is vibrant yet tense, as Cortés reveals a recent act of treachery that shakes the allegiance of his men. The chapter shifts perspectives to Juan Lerma, who is caught in the turmoil of battle and betrayal, encountering both indifference and danger from his own people and enemies alike. The intertwined fates of these characters set the stage for profound themes of honor, sacrifice, and the impact of foreign conquest on indigenous people as the story progresses.
