Calderón de la Barca, Pedro,
Abstract:
Analyzes the allegorical characters of "Judaísmo" and "Sinagoga" in Calderón's plays (in 17th-century Spain) as prototypes of the tragic destiny embodied elsewhere in the Wandering Jew. Some plays (e.g. "Los instrumentos") reflect, in popular taste, general hostility towards Jews. Most of them evoke the disputations between Judaism and Christianity, lost by the beautiful tragic Synagogue who sometimes seeks conversion and almost always shows stubbornness and intellectual blindness. Includes graphic representations of the Synagogue.
