Summary

"El 19 de marzo y el 2 de mayo" es el tercero de los Episodios Nacionales de Benito Pérez Galdós, esta vez centrado en el motín de Aranjuez y en los sucesos del 2 de mayo de 1808, cuando el pueblo de Madrid se levantó contra las tropas francesas de Napoleón y fue violentamente reprimido. Como en entregas anteriores, las aventuras de Gabriel de Araceli hilvanan los acontecimientos históricos de los que es testigo, como protagonista anónimo, con su propia peripecia personal mientras intenta liberar a su amada Inés de sus ambiciosos tíos.

Con un tono ameno y un relato emocionante y folletinesco, Galdós continua retratando la España de principios del siglo XIX, y contrapone el motín de Aranjuez, que supone la caída del Príncipe de la Paz, Manuel Godoy, y la primera subida al trono de Fernando VII, una conspiración palaciega en la que el pueblo es mero instrumento de intereses más altos y ambiciones personales, y la expontánea explosión de rabia y patriotismo que protagonizan los madrileños de todas clases sociales como encarnación de la reacción de toda España contra el invasor francés y los planes de Napoleón.

"El 19 de marzo y el 2 de mayo" is the third of Benito Pérez Galdós' Episodios Nacionales, this time focusing on the Aranjuez mutiny and the events of May 2, 1808, when the people of Madrid revolted against Napoleon's French troops and were violently repressed. As in previous installments, the adventures of Gabriel de Araceli weave together the historical events he witnesses, as an anonymous protagonist, with his own personal vicissitudes as he tries to free his beloved Inés from her ambitious uncles.
