Summary "Torquemada en el purgatorio" by Benito Pérez Galdós is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Francisco Torquemada, a character whose transition from a life of hardship to one of ostentation brings about various social and personal conflicts, particularly within his newly affluent family life. The novel is likely to explore themes of morality, class, and the complexities of human relationships. The opening of the novel presents a vivid portrayal of the protagonist, Torquemada, as he navigates his recent transformation from a miserly usurer to a man of newfound social status. The narrative introduces a vivid cast of characters including his wife, Fidela, and his brother-in-law, Cruz, who engage in humorous yet pointed exchanges about their changing circumstances. The dynamics within the household reveal underlying tensions as the characters confront issues of identity and societal expectations following their abrupt elevation in status. Through these interactions, Galdós sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the moral implications of wealth and the challenges of personal integrity amidst social change.
