Resumen
The purpose with which this work is conceived is that of contrasting a Spanish and a European novel –both works contemporary to one another –whose central theme is that of adultery. The two authors of these works constructed protagonists with verysimilar characters and set their stories in boring and asphyxiating cities that limited them. Through different structures, characters, descriptions, symbols, and narrative techniques, both authors reach two separate endings in which, though Effi dies andla Regenta does not, one shared underlying idea can be found: that a given setting influences its characters and the health of its inhabitants, which can be seen in the despair and the fall of these two characters, caused by the oppression exerted by the wills and envies of others.
