The poem is interesting, since you cannot understand what the poet says in every sentence. However, from the background of the poet, we might get some kind of idea about what message she wants to deliver. Cervantes is known for fiminist poems, and it sounds like she is making some fiminist statements in this poem. What she is trying to say is a difference between the posibilities avaliable to men and the fate to which the women in the peom are doomed. The posibilities each gender has in life actually very different in our world. A man has a posibility, which is why his life can be a dymanic, a methaphor, changing thing with the possibility for bad and for good. A woman's fate is sealed, written in stone. She usually has no chocie or say. The statement is true for old days, but it is still true for most places today. Even in the current united staes. People still have some sterotypes for women, and a woman is judged by her appearances much more than a man is. We are much luckier than women in certain areas. But some say, that we are not lucky enough.
