Summary "Novelas ejemplares y amorosas" by María de Zayas y Sotomayor is a collection of stories written in the early 17th century. The work introduces characters entangled in matters of love and social dynamics, showcasing particularly the experiences of the noblewoman Lisis and her friends as they navigate romantic relationships. These tales explore themes of fidelity, honor, and the consequences of desire, ultimately reflecting the complex interplay of emotions and societal expectations in their time. The opening of the collection introduces Lisis and her beautiful friends—Lisarda, Matilde, Nise, and Filis—who gather during the festive Christmas season to entertain one another with music, conversation, and games to distract Lisis from her illness and the disappointments of love. Central to this initial narrative is Lisis's unrequited love for Don Juan, who is infatuated with her cousin, Lisarda, leading to a dramatic exploration of jealousy and heartache. The women plan a festive soirée and invite several noblemen, setting the stage for the intertwined tales of romance and rivalry that will unfold in the subsequent stories.
