Social Sciences - History | | Spanish term or phrase: avaricia | Describing a picture depicting Marie Louise of Parma and her royal favourite:
"No parece que la situación dibujada pueda encontrar más salida que el ataque a la misma Corona. En la segunda estampa, Godoy besa la mano de la reina mientras ofrece los tesoros de España a la avaricia."
I wish I could see the picture, but as I can't I need to establish whether 'avaricia' refers to the Queen herself (in which case I would expect her to be referred to as 'avariciosa') or to the literal meaning of 'avarice'. The former would make more sense of course but I don't know if the word can be used in this way.
Thank you! |
