This play from the early nineteenth century explores the social pressures surrounding marriage and family expectations. The language is conversational and reflects the formal yet polite tone of the era. You will encounter vocabulary related to daily life and domestic arrangements. The sentences are generally straightforward, though the dialogue structure requires careful attention to follow the interaction between the characters. It is a manageable text for learners who want to practice reading classical Spanish drama without overly complex or archaic syntax.

Questions about this book
What level of Spanish do I need for this book?
The estimate is B2, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 1 h 38 min at a native pace, spread over 38 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
