Abstract

The lack of liberty turns even your own home into a hostile space. Two of Cervantes’ heroines, Lorenza, the protagonist of the entremés “The Jealous Old Man” and Leonora, the protagonist of the exemplary novel “The Jealous Extremaduran”-, perceive their homes as a hostile space, since they live locked up worse than in a prison, by the jealousy of their husbands.
