    The convivencia between the followers of the different religions of the Mediterranean persisted despite the fraught politics of Christianity and Islam. Despite the long arm of the Inquisition the protagonists in the plays of Cervantes and Lope struggle to maintain fraternal ties.

    Despite being an army officer Don Fernando is drawn towards the Muslim Princess Arlaxa. He defies army convention to meet her much to the chagrin of fellow Spanish soldiers in the presidio where they are stationed.

    Despite prevailing stereotypes, the Muslim women in Cervantes’ captivity plays are forthright, ambitious and endowed with considerable agency. Though there is no evidence that Cervantes had read Erasmus, yet his portrayal of women shows them as standing their ground during adversity.
