Exploring Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Sexuality in Four Spanish Plays
explores society’s influence on identity in Spanish theatrical works and discusses parallels to these works in contemporary popular culture. The Spanish plays
El retablo de las maravillas
(
The Marvelous Puppet Show
) by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1615);
Virtudes vencen señales
Virtues Overcome Signs
) by Vélez de Guevara (1620);
El público
The Audience
) by Federico García Lorca (1929); and
La llamada de Lauren
Lauren’s Call
) by Paloma Pedrero (1985) all deal with characters in the midst of a crisis of identity. Using an eclectic approach, supported by contemporary theories of race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality, Beth Bernstein analyzes the four plays in terms of identity and shows how society imposes the construction of identity. As the characters reach to define themselves, internal and external pressures guide them in interpreting acceptable behavior. This book offers a close reading of the psychological struggle of the characters, driven by society to cover their differences with a symbolic mask which, if donned, will eventually devour their true identity.
