Summary "The Mark of Zorro" by Johnston McCulley is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in Southern California during the time of the Spanish missions and follows the masked character, Zorro, a cunning and charismatic vigilante who fights against tyranny and injustice. The novel not only features intense action and sword fights but also introduces a range of colorful characters, including the boastful Sergeant Gonzales and the wealthy Don Diego Vega. The opening of the story introduces Sergeant Pedro Gonzales at a tavern, where he complains about a notorious outlaw known as Zorro. As he brags about his own prowess and the lack of confrontation with the masked figure, the atmosphere is stormy and tense. Suddenly, Don Diego Vega enters the tavern, and the conversation soon shifts to Zorro, with Gonzales declaring his wish to capture him for the reward. Eventually, Zorro himself makes an unexpected entrance, confronting Gonzales with a pistol and challenging him to a duel while evading capture with his impressive skills. This engaging start sets the stage for the comedic yet action-packed exploits of Zorro, highlighting themes of bravery, deception, and justice. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
