Chapter III — Crome Yellow
Chapter III opens with a view that feels both grand and isolating—a high terrace overlooking sculpted nature. From this lofty perch, the estate below stretches with well-groomed intent: a swimming pool gleaming under the sun, manicured lawns fading into distant treetops, and a river cutting quietly through the horizon. The architecture of the scene suggests control, but the mood hints at something more precarious. It’s a place where beauty conceals subtle tensions. At the summer-house below, a group…-

Chapter II: The Woman’s Rose
Chapter II: The Woman’s Rose begins with a quiet moment of reflection, as the narrator opens an aged wooden box tied with a simple cord. Inside, among trinkets faded by time, rests a rose—withered yet intact, its form preserved with unusual care. Unlike other flowers once pressed between pages or left to dry, this one has endured, kept not for its beauty but for its meaning. The narrator associates it not with romance or celebration, but with strength and a pivotal memory from her youth. It is a symbol…-

Chapter II: How Lazaro Took up with a Priest and the Things That Happened to Him with That Man
Chapter II follows Lazarillo as he escapes one hardship only to enter another, leaving behind a blind master and soon finding himself under the care of a miserly priest in Maqueda. What begins with cautious hope quickly descends into another form of torment, cloaked in the false piety of his new employer. The priest, outwardly devout and respected by his community, treats Lazarillo not as a servant to be cared for, but as a burden to be rationed. Meals are rare and portions absurdly small—little more…-

Chapter II — Father and Son
