EIGHT PAGES for BOTH questions. 12 Font, doubled space, 1-inch margins. It can certainly be shorter than that (but not too short).For Question one you will be using the book that I will provide call Fuente Ovejuna and you can only use quotes and references from this book to answer this question but for some parts if u need to use a summary from outside make it your own words and its better to not site outside sources and make everything as original as possible. But be sure to mainly use the book that I provide for question one which is the Fuente Ovejuna.

Question 1 (4 pages)

1. Provide a very short summary of the plot (no more than half a page).

2. Tell me what the salient themes in this literary work are.

3. Analyze two or three of these themes and explain how they reflect the culture, values,

politics, social and economic structures of early modern Spain. You are using these texts as

primary sources. Therefore, your use of them should answer the question: What do they tell you

about the history of Spain?

4. Place these works within a specific historical context.

For this next prompt you will be using the book that I will also provide called Spanish Society. For this prompt please only use the book I provide for citations and quotes and refrain from using outside sources as much as possible

Question 2 (4 pages)

3. The Antonio Perez Affair

4. The Administration of the Empire
