Honor in the Poem of the Cid
Keywords:
Poem of the Cid, the Cid, Honor, Society of Honor, Spanish ReconquistaAbstract
In this paper the uses of the word honor in the Poem of the Cid are examined, in relation to the social reality of the Cid. It intends to show that honor, even though it has a primary meaning of material possessions, mainly land, goes further than that, being an immaterial good, more important than life itself, and it can be won, increased, lost and shared.
