Exploring Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Sexuality in Four Spanish Plays delves into the profound influence of society on identity in Spanish theatrical works, drawing parallels to these works in contemporary popular culture. The collection of plays includes renowned masterpieces such as 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 (Laurens Call) by Paloma Pedrero (1985). These plays revolve around characters who are at a pivotal point in their lives, grappling with a crisis of identity. Through an interdisciplinary approach, supported by contemporary theories of race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality, the author analyzes these four plays in terms of identity and uncovers how society imposes the construction of identity. As the characters embark on a journey to define themselves, they navigate internal and external pressures that shape their interpretation of acceptable behavior. This book offers a meticulous and insightful exploration of the psychological struggles of each character, driven by societal pressures to conceal their differences behind a symbolic mask, ultimately leading to the erosion of their true selves.
