Calderon: Jealousy the Greatest Monster

As the title indicates, Pedro Calderon de la Barca's Jealousy tragically dramatizes the same key themes and emotions that preoccupied Shakespeare in Othello. His portrayal of the mind and passion of King Herod, a ruler traditionally vilified in Catholic Spain during Calderon's age, reveals a compassionate understanding and lack of prejudice.

Dupa cum indica titlul, Gelozia lui Pedro Calderon de la Barca dramatizeaza tragic aceleasi teme cheie si emotii care l-au preocupat pe Shakespeare in Othello. Portretizarea mintii si pasiunii regelui Irod, un conducator denigrat in mod traditional in Spania catolica in epoca lui Calderon, dezvaluie o intelegere plina de compasiune si o lipsa de prejudecati.
