Summary "Dulce Nombre" by Concha Espina is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the central character, Dulce Nombre, a young woman caught in a web of romantic entanglements and societal expectations, as various men vie for her affection and fate, including her father's close friend and a seminarian she is already in love with. This narrative seems to explore themes of love, personal choice, and the conflict between duty and desire. The opening of the novel introduces us to the setting of a milling town and introduces key characters such as Martín Rostrío, the local miller and father of Dulce Nombre, as well as Ignacio Malgor, an affluent man who wishes to marry her. We witness a secret conversation between these two men, where Malgor expresses his intentions and proposes to win the heart of Dulce Nombre, despite their age difference. Meanwhile, the women at the mill gossip about the unfolding situation and the potential love interests of Dulce Nombre, highlighting the village's tightly knit social fabric. As the chapter unfolds, we sense the looming conflict between Dulce Nombre's feelings for her current love, Manuel Jesús, and the pressing pressure to conform to the expectations of her father and society.
