| Summary | "La desheredada" by Benito Pérez Galdós is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story examines social issues through the life of Isidora Rufete, a young woman navigating the complexities of her family's struggles with mental illness and poverty. She is tied to her father, Tomás Rufete, who struggles with madness, and her experiences in a harsh social environment inform the narrative as she seeks to understand her identity and place in a cruel society. The opening of the novel introduces us to the dire circumstances of Tomás Rufete, who has been committed to an asylum due to his insanity. The scene illustrates the chaotic life within the institution as Rufete meanders through confused thoughts of political ambitions and monetary concerns, reflecting the broader theme of societal neglect. Isidora, Rufete's daughter, arrives in the narrative as she seeks to reconnect with her father after learning of his deteriorating condition. Through her dialogue with the Director of the asylum, we glimpse her deep emotional ties to her father, as well as the bleak reality she faces as she grapples with the loss of her family's stability and the stigma of mental illness.
