Summary "Dulce Dueño" by condesa de Emilia Pardo Bazán is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the backdrop of ancient Alexandria, it explores the life of Catarina, a learned and proud princess who grapples with her feelings of love and self-worth against the societal and religious norms of her time. The story delves into her quest for true beauty and love, ultimately navigating her complex identity amid the struggles of faith and desire. The opening of "Dulce Dueño" establishes a tranquil scene as rain falls softly outside a cozy gathering in a village. Within this intimate setting, three characters engage in a discussion about Saint Catherine of Alexandria, highlighting the historical backdrop of the tale. The eclesiastical figure reads about Catherine's life, establishing her as a symbol of intellect and beauty who faced societal pressures and persecution in a tumultuous era. Amidst the dialogue, the narrative hints at Catherine's defiance against her suitors, her intellectual pursuits, and her internal conflict regarding love—setting the stage for her engagement with themes of faith, justice, and the search for identity as the story unfolds.
