Lengua

Elogio de la mujer chiquita

Al principio la elogia diciendo que tiene mucho valor,bondad etc..Por ejemplo dice: ''como en poco perfume yace muy buen olor,así,mejor pequeña,guarda muy gran corazón'' y ''es muy pequeño el grano de la buena pimienta, pero más que la nuez reconforta y calienta'' Me llama la atención por habla de la mujer chiquita como ''buena compañera para la cama'' tratándola como un objeto sexual,y más él siendo ''ministro de Dios''.Luego el poeta parece rechazar de súbito a tan <ideal> pareja con esta frase:''Mejor es tomar la mujer pequeña que la grande.''¡Bien está del mal tomar lo menos!'' al decir esto se refiere a que la mujer de escasa dimensiones físicas tiene menos maldad por se menos corpulenta, algo inexplicable que entre en la mente de alguien.

SigurdrEl texto habla de las hazañas o gesta de Sigurdr, un personaje famoso en la era medieval.Su nombre va de boca en boca por haber matado al dragón gigante de los varejos(pueblo que procedía de Escandinavia y que fundó la actual Rusia).Sus armas eran espectaculares,todas estaban labradas en oro. Su escudo era muy elaborado,estaba recubierto de oro rojo y llevaba grabado la figura de un dragón. La mitad superior era marrón y la interior morada.Este equipamiento le daba seguridad,valor y fuerza. Sigurdr tenía grandes cualidades envididadas por muchos,entre ellas su gran físico,aunque la física muestra que en una batalla el físico no lo es todo ,es la inteligencia y la astucia, lo que lleva a Sigurdr a la victoria. Sus ojos penetrantes ya dan pavor y su altura te hace sentir inferior. Eran un elocuente orador,no le faltaba coraje y nunca había sentido miedo ¿crees que las personas valientes nunca sienten miedo? Yo creo que aunque seas valiente sí que puedes tener miedo o llegar a un estado de agobio , desesperación en situaciones difíciles .Muchas veces creemos eso, que los valientes nunca lloran ni sienten temor pero lo cierto es que eso es solo una fachada,tiene un paralelo comparable a esta frase:''si no eres fuerte,actúa como si lo fueras'' El no sentir temor equivale a tener una paz interior,despreocupación y tranquilidad,cualidades que muy pocos llegan a tener porque,¿quién puede jurar que no le teme al futuro de la humanidad,o a la muerte? Solo los que tienen o creen tener un conocimiento verdadero y confiable sobre estos misterios y respuestas¿quien puede decirnos y contestarnos estas cuestiones?yo creo que Dios,en la Biblia,mediante la cual nos llega a decir cosas que solo el Creador puede saber,por ejemplo y aunque parezca muy extraño Isaías nos dice que la tierra es un circulo que cuelga sobre la nada.Y sobre el futuro dice que ''los justos mismos poseerán la tierra y es, cierto que todos queremos ser esos ''justos'' pero a quien algo quiere algo le cuesta y el libro de Juan dice que '' la vida eterna se consigue adquiriendo conocimiento de Dios y de su hijo''.Esto sí es una muestra de no sentir temor;el tener tranquilidad y paz mental sobre la vida,sea cierta o no, tiene una esperanza.

El Cid entra en Burgos

El Cid, con sesenta personas acompañándolo,pasó por Burgos;los habitantes de la ciudad lo admiraban y expresaban alegría y emoción al ver al Cid.Pero esa misma noche recibieron una carta del rey Alfonso diciendo:''Quien ose dar covijo al Cid perderá lo suyo,y aún los ojos de la cara,y además de cuanto digo,con la muerte pagareis lo sucedido.Los burgaleses no están muy de acuerdo con el rey,pero no les quedan más remedio que obedecer , a las ordenes del rey,ya que temen que el rey los maten.El Cid pega en las casa pero nadie le abre,cuando de repente una niña de nueve años salió de su casa y le dijo:''¡campeador,en buen hora,que habeis ceñido espada! Orden del rey prohíbe,anoche llegó su carta A abriros nadie osaría,nadie os acoge por nada'' Después de hablar con la niña el Cid piensa que el rey no cabia esperar gracias. En esta historia los burgaleses según en el verso<<¡Dios qué buen vasallo el Cid>>¡Así hubiese buen señor! En estas expresiones se interpreta que ojalá hubiera un rey como el Cid y que es un hombre bueno que ayuda a la gente. Creo que la nña fue la única que habló con el Cid porque es muy inocente e ingenua. Mi opinión es que el rey está celoso del Cid porque todos los ciudadanos lo aclaman y lo quieren como a un rey, cosa que el no tiene;el amor de los ciudadanos y al tener el poder,puede hacer lo que quiera. Pienso que el Cid es una persona amable,luchadora y que ayuda a la gente sin pedir nada a cambio.
