(Mary Jane) 1923 Serrano, Mary Jane Christie Doña Perfecta Produced by Dagny; John Bickers; David Widger "Doña Perfecta" by Benito Pérez Galdós is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Doña Perfecta, a strong-willed woman deeply entrenched in the religious and societal expectations of her time, and her interactions with her nephew Pepe Rey, who arrives at the family home in the provincial town of Orbajosa. The novel explores themes of bigotry, tradition, and modernity as the characters navigate their complex relationships and the challenges posed by differing ideologies. At the start of "Doña Perfecta," we meet Pepe Rey as he arrives in the cold village of Villahorrenda, where he is greeted by Uncle Licurgo, a servant of his aunt, Doña Perfecta. As Pepe prepares for his journey to Orbajosa, he contemplates the disappointing reality of the landscape that his mother had painted so affectionately in his childhood memories. The narrative introduces the reader to the contrasting ideals of Pepe, an educated man with progressive thoughts, against the backdrop of Orbajosa, a place dominated by the rigid customs and oppressive societal norms epitomized by Doña Perfecta. This tension foreshadows the conflicts that will unfold as the characters grapple with their beliefs and desires amidst a richly depicted Spanish setting.
