| Summary |
"La prueba" by Emilia Pardo Bazán is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story appears to revolve around the complex emotions and experiences of its main character, likely a young man named Luis Portal, who navigates themes of love, identity, and societal expectations. Through his interactions with various characters, including his friend Luis and a woman named "Mo," the narrative explores the protagonist's inner turmoil and romantic aspirations. At the start of the novel, we meet Luis Portal, who is recovering from a severe illness. As he recuperates, he reflects on his physical changes, including the growth of a beard, which symbolizes his transition into adulthood. Portal's discussions with his friend reveal his frustrations with love and relationships, particularly as he pines for a woman named Carmiña, who is married. This opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration of desire, longing, and the conflicts between societal norms and personal passion, hinting at a complex web of emotions that will be further unraveled throughout the story.
