Most of the text gives the reader a sense of confidence in the narrator, the adult Lazarus, who responds to the stories of his life, but until the final treatise, since the reader can see the disillusionment that Lazarus has with his life, the reader may wonder about the quality of the information he receives from this story. The structure of Lazarillo de Tormes seems very simple and obvious: a prologue and seven treatises. The narrative seems to be organized in such a way that a treatise is formed for a master in Lazarillo`s life, especially for treaties II, III, IV and V. However, the division of these seven contracts is somewhat arbitrary, as contracts I, VI and VII are not just about your life with a master. In addition, the number seven indicates an influence of folklore and Christian tradition. In general, this novel is characterized by episodes in terms of structure, which is typical of picaresque novels. Unlike the imaginative poetic language dedicated to fantastic and supernatural events about incredible creatures and chivalrous knights, Lazarillo`s realistic prose depicts supplicants who bought indulgences in church, servants who were forced to die with their masters on the battlefield (like Lazarillo`s father), thousands of refugees who wandered from city to city, poor beggars who have been whipped by whips because of lack of food. The anonymous author added many popular sayings and ironically interpreted popular stories. El joven cree haber escalado una posición dentro de la jerarquía social pero nada más lejos de la realidad: el clérigo resulta ser también un avaro y, además, maltrata a Lázaro; de hecho, solo le da de comer cuando van a entierros, el resto del día no lo alimenta de forma alguna.

Ese libro fue escrito unos años después de la conquista. The large amount of gold arriving in Spain, resulting from the abolition of the Amerindians, caused a lot of inflation and killed in poverty many social classes that were forced to beg. This work initiated a literary genre that describes social and economic drama. It is the so-called Spanish Pikareske who has always caused me great suffering. Poverty doesn`t make me laugh. Lazarillo introduced picaresque ways of delineating the different professions and levels of society. A little boy or a young man or woman describes the master or “best” with realistic details naively presented. But Lazarillo speaks of the “blind man”, of the “squire”, of the “forgiver” and presents these characters as types. Lazarillo (tiny and affectionate form of the name) was born in a small village near the city of Salamanca and the Tormes River into a very poor family. Antona, his mother, widow of a miller convicted of theft who later died in the war with the Moors, begins an illegal relationship with a black slave named Zaide, who helps his new family financially.

As a result of their relationship, Lazarus` half-brother was born. However, the relationship between Zaide and Antona ends because, on the one hand, they accuse the slaves of theft and, on the other hand, the relationship between the two is considered immoral and doomed. The function of the language that dominates this novel is informative because they constantly talk about the facts and the language of this book is banal, because the main characters of the work are people of lower social classes and untreated. Although the author of this book was cultured, he was simply able to write the book in the language. El Lazarillo is a picaresque novel in which the protagonist Lázaro explains the adventures and misfortunes he has lived all his life. Originally from Salamanca, very close to the Tormes River, this boy is part of a modest family and must therefore serve as a servant to people in order to work and earn money. We begin this brief summary of the Lazarillo de Tormes by talking about the first treatise with which the novel begins. Here we meet Lázaro, a boy who comes from a modest family and lives near the Tormes River.

Her origins are also shameful because her father is a thief and her mother, when she was separated from her husband, married a black man with whom she had a child, a behavior that was very frowned upon at the time. Lázaro de Tormes wrote a long letter in the form of an autobiography to tell someone he called “Tu Merced” about the scandalous rumors circulating in the city about Lázaro`s marital situation. Due to Lazarillo`s early adventures, the Spanish word lazarillo took on the meaning of “leader,” as it did for a blind person. Therefore, a guide dog is still unofficially called perro lazarillo in Spanish, as it was called before the perro guía became common. To conclude with this summary of El Lazarillo de Tormes, it is important to offer a brief analysis of the work and its significance in the history of literature. Therefore, we need to broaden our vision and know its historical and cultural context. With a letter style, autobiographically and in the first person, this work depicts the miserable life of a young man named Lazarus, who goes through various difficulties from childhood to adulthood. At the same time, the book is a portrait and critique of sixteenth-century Spanish society. Lazarus` main goal is to achieve stability, but bad experiences with his various masters always bring him back into misery and trouble. This character is an example of transformation and maturity that culminates at the end of the play as she grows up and marries. Then Lazarus manages to have the stability he wanted. In the first part we find the reason why he writes this; that is, to give messages and prevent these things from being heard or seen so that they are not forgotten.

The narrative voice in this text is very unique. The narrator`s point of view has changed a lot between the prologue and the seven treatises that explain Lazarus` experiences, but most of them are in the third person. It is very important to note that the narrator in the text of the prologue is not Lazarillo, the little one, but Lázaro, the adult. This is not clear to the reader before reading the entire text, but must change the reader`s perception of the information he receives from the narrator between treatises. The narrator uses an interesting technique to address the reader, and he gives him the perception of the truth among the information he receives, and I can see it in the first lines of the treatise: “Know your mercy well above all, let them call me Lázaro1 de Tormes, son of Tomé González and Antoña Pérez, Indigenous people of Tejares, village of Salamanca. Then he meets a squire who offers him a job. Lazarus believes that this will improve his quality of life because of his social position. However, his misery continues and from him he only learns that appearances are deceiving, because the squire dresses opul slowly and has nothing to eat. .
