La Dama Duende

Entre las comedias del fecundo y elegante Calderón merecía, sin duda, uno de los lugares mas distinguidos la que se conoce con el título de La dama duende. Con efecto la novedad original del argumento, la verdad de los caracteres, una multitud de escenas y de situaciones cómicas, y las gracias y sales derramadas con profusión en toda ella la hacían sumamente apreciable. Por otra parte el fin de esta obra era el de atacar una preocupación tan general como ridícula, que había llegado a apoderarse del pueblo español, y de la que aun está muy lejos de hallarse totalmente curado: La existencia de los duendes, fantasmas, trasgos, etc. estaba recibida entre nosotros en aquel siglo como un hecho seguro y constante; y, aunque esta errónea opinión no mereciese más que la risa y el desprecio, eran de tal trascendencia los males que ocasionaba que fue preciso hacer uso de cuantos medios pudieron emplearse a fin de procurar destruirla.

By : Pedro Calderón de la Barca (1600 - 1681)
