The main theme of this work is love. Human love and profane love, love in all its forms. In this work as the story is read you can see the ideology of love according to Marguerita through attitudes and words of men and women, where a picture of the conception of love and marriage in the sixteenth century is built is reflected. Do not forget that in the Middle Ages, love in literature was the courtly love, the troubadour sang the female coquetry, beauty and female discretion were values that were above of the intellectual values.
In the sixteenth century however , the woman begins to influence society. Undoubtedly, one of the pillars of the female role is humanistic education. Through the culture and its privileged social position Marguerita of Navarre realizes that the world is changing, but the woman is still too obfuscated by man. We see in her work a mosaic structure, where every word, every gesture of the characters help to shape a defense of honest, believer and educated woman.
The characters are divided into two groups: female and male. Although equalize in number, they do not have the same importance. The male side led by Hircan is characterized by misogyny which means discrimination against women and machismo (except Daugocin and Geburon).
However, it is on the female side where the spiritual leader of the group is, Oisille and the person with greater intellectual development; Parliament. Thus, Margarita gets elevate the role of women in the society of his time, banishing values like frivolity and pride. So like this, faithful to God and to her husband and also intelligent and cultivated woman, represented by Parlamente, is the big winner in the debates. Human love for Margarita must be between individuals of the same social class and within marriage, So much so Parlamente respect her husband when dissimulating the flirtation of her admirers.
