1. Choose one quote from these chapters for commentary and analysis. In addition, I would like you to analyze the character of Lela Zoraida / Maria the woman presented in these chapters. How do you interpret her multiple identities (Arabic / Muslim / Christian / "Spanish")? What might her character have to say about identity in 17th century Spain and identity today? Does she have more / less agency than the other women present in this text? Why or why not? (In other words, why do you think the novel presents us with this character?)
