Abstract

The main theme and plot in Cavalleria Rusticana, Jeli, La Lupa, and Rosso Malpelo can both be identified in the English translations that were analyzed; however, the cultural and religious aspects, together with the nuances in meaning seem to have all been affected in at least some way depending on the accuracy of the translation. Due to the lack of space in presenting my findings, I am writing about one of Verga’s stories—Cavalleria Rusticana.
