From the moment she enters the nunnery until she exposes her real self to the King some decades later, de Erauso's life is fraught with conflict between and against her fellow man, a truth so striking that it comes through in the author's staid, emotionless depiction that is wholly lacking of any personal introspection that would afford some understanding of her deeper emotions.

Gonzalo de Berceo, thirteenth century Spanish poet, focused on the subject of the Virgin Mary and her importance to Christian worship in his text Milagros de Nuestra Senora (Miracles of Our Lady). Berceo begins with an elaborate allegory that pictures him as a pilgrim finding a field that he describes in a manner that immediately equates it with Paradise and the Garden of Eden. In this new "Eden," it is Mary who is the new "Eve."

Just as Eve caused the downfall of humanity, the Virgin is instrumental in its redemption. No additional sources cited.
