- Title
TEATRO DENTRO DEL TEATRO EN LOS DRAMAS DE CERVANTES.
- Authors
CAZÉS GRYJ, J. DANN
- Abstract
This paper studies the way in which Cervantes inserts and uses play within the play in the dramatic composition of Los baños de Argel, La entretenida and El retablo de las Maravillas. It examines how the elements of drama and performance work in the creation of the context that will help to establish the limits between the reality of the "frame play" (main play) and that of the "play framed" (secondary play), and how establishing the difference between these two levels of reality is essential in making the dynamic of the dramas comprehensible. Characters in charge of performing the secondary play move simultaneously between the different levels of reality, and play within the play in Cervantes' dramas is used by these characters to trick, mock or attack other characters without any consequences.
