Summary: "Torquemada en la cruz" by Benito Pérez Galdós is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the character Francisco Torquemada, a usurer whose life is deeply intertwined with themes of morality, greed, and social class. The novel appears to explore the complexities of human relationships, particularly as they pertain to the financial struggles and social standings of its characters. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to the immediate aftermath of the death of Doña Lupe, a close friend of Torquemada. His attentiveness during her final moments reveals his character's complexity; even as he grapples with the gravity of loss, he can't help but ponder his financial dealings with the deceased's family. The narrative sets a tone of introspection as Torquemada navigates his feelings of responsibility and guilt, while dealing with the expectations of his role in the social and financial dynamics of those around him, including the widowed Doña Lupe’s relatives. His inner conflict foreshadows the moral dilemmas he will face as the story unfolds. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
