"This thesis examines honour as a central theme in narrative passages of 'El alcalde de Zalamea' a seventeenth-century play by Spain's Pedro Calderon de la Barca, and in 'Cronica de una muerte anunciada' (1981), a short novel by Colombian Gabriel García Márquez. By means of a comparative study, and using narratology as the primary theoretical and methodological frame, this theme is explored through the analysis of both works at three different 'levels'; that of the characters, the narrators, and the implied authors with the intention of revealing the distinct contrast between the ideology expressed at all levels and, ultimately, at the level of the respective implied authors as the embodiment of the works' ideologies, in regards to honour as a socially-regulated code of conduct. An important portion of this analysis is dedicated to discussing the relationship between the fictional components of these works and their symbolic meaning in the external or 'real'/non-fictional world in connection with said ideology."
