Resumen
Set in 18th-century Spain, El sombrero de tres picos is a witty and charming tale of love, jealousy, and social satire.
The story revolves around Tío Lucas, a humble and clever miller, and his beautiful, faithful wife, Señá Frasquita.
Trouble brews when the local magistrate, donning his pompous three-cornered hat, becomes infatuated with Frasquita and plots to seduce her.
However, his scheming is met with unexpected consequences, as the tables are turned in a series of humorous and ironic events.
Through playful deception and sharp social commentary, Alarcón delivers a delightful critique of power, hypocrisy, and the follies of the upper class.
