Four of the novellas are often regarded with less interest than the rest: Las Dos Doncellas, La Española Inglesa, El Amante Liberal, and La Señora Cornelia. All of these four novellas have the common theme of pairs of lovers separated by sad and complicated happenings before finally being reunited and achieving happiness. This is the traditional ...
