Alonso is a cultural work that delves into the traditions and lifestyles of Puerto Rican society during the mid-19th century. The author presents a vivid portrayal of local customs, character interactions, and social critiques, as seen through the eyes of those who inhabit the island. This work aims to preserve and convey the essence of Puerto Rican culture while also addressing the discrepancies between local educational practices and those in Spain. The opening of the narrative introduces the author's personal struggles with the prevailing educational system and the cultural disconnect he perceives between Puerto Rico and the Spanish mainland. Through the character Pepe and a humorous conversation about their compatriot's unrealistic aspirations, the narrative explores themes of provincialism and alienation. The reader is introduced to vibrant scenes of everyday life, including festivities and weddings, all while the author muses on the implications of such customs and the importance of cultural heritage, setting the stage for a deeper examination of identity and societal values in Puerto Rico.
