Calderon: Jealousy the Greatest Monster


Add your own review!

Overview

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. Through the madness of possessive love and jealousy, Herod first destroys his wife's love and trust, and then her life.This edition of Jealousy provides the original Spanish text and an English translation on facing pages, as well as an introduction and commentary, which place the work in context, both in the writer's literary circle and in its historical background.
