Song 5.
"Mother of God, blessed are those who trust in you, for they will never lack for your great mercy as long as they obey and offer thanks to you," is the theme of this song (and is within in the song as well).  This is the most prominent theme in the song.  It is basically what the whole story is about.  Throughout the story, this beautiful woman is plagued by misfortunes and mainly malicious acts by others.  These other people generally try to hurt the empress, Beatriz, because she is so beautiful and rejects them.  While Beatriz is trying to do the right thing, she is always getting hurt because of it.  She gets lied about and punished for sins she did not commit.  Every time she faces death for something she did not do (out of virtuousness, may I add), Holy Mary saves her.  Finally, Mary also ends her suffering by giving her a special herb to cure lepers and finally helping her reach a point of peace in life where she no longer holds malice towards those who hurt her.  Mary is a savior in this story.  She is powerful and benevolent.  This story does not include social or political commentary, but focuses on religious issues.

Song 6.
The main and important theme of this song is if you are faithful and praise Holy Mary, she will reward you.  The boy simply sang her song and had faith that since he did so she would be there to help him and his mother.  When the time came and her help was needed more than ever, she gave it.  When the boy was murdered, she protected him and brought him back to life, saving him his life and his mother grief.  Mary has the role of protector in this song.  She looks after those who are faithful.  There are social aspects and religious aspects.  These may or may not turn into political aspects.  The boy was murdered by a Jew which is social and religious and even political.  The Jew was displeased with the song the boy sang because it was dedicated to the Holy Mary.  This would be prejudice.  I found it intriguing how violent this song was.  For being about such a peaceful, loving, and kind figure (Mary), it contained much gore and violence.  I also do not agree with the ending when the people kill the Jew or Jews (I'm not sure if its just one or more) because Mary would never agree to something like that.  She is forgiving and merciful.  Is this only to those who she likes? Those who are faithful and loving back?  I have never seen Mary as a figure to be like that, only giving when she gets.  I just think Mary would have stopped the violence and reminded the people to be forgiving.
