Fernán Caballero was probably influenced by the Escenas andaluzas, the Escenas matritenses and Larra's essays on manners; and it is quite possible that from her German friends came to her some of the modern spirit of scientific investigation that led her to declare the novel to be "not the product of invention, but of observation."

The last word of the play, "resucita," is not only the key note of the drama, but the summing up of Galdós' desires, and the expression of his ambition for his country and his countrymen. The purpose of the play and the spirit of the author are accurately voiced by Lopez Ballesteras, in the Heraldo, January 31, 1901.
