Cantar de mio Cid Analysis

I’m working through Classical Spanish literature and now need a focused literary analysis of the medieval epic “El Cantar de mio Cid.” The goal is to move well beyond plot summary and produce a critical commentary that would satisfy a university-level discussion of the poem.

Deliverable
• A structured essay that examines primary themes, characterisation, narrative technique, and the socio-historical context of the Reconquista period.
• Properly cited secondary sources to support each argument (MLA or APA is fine).

I do not need a translation or general overview—only a rigorous, text-driven analysis. Let me know your proposed outline and timeframe so we can confirm the schedule and any additional resources you might require.
