Auto da barca do inferno

by Gil Vicente

Gil Vicente's *Auto da Barca do Inferno* is a Portuguese morality play that satirizes the vices and follies of humanity. The play depicts the arrival of various characters, both good and bad, at the point of death. They are then judged by an angel and a devil, who decide their fate and send them to either heaven or hell. The play uses humor and wit to highlight the hypocrisy of the characters and to criticize the corruption of the church and society. The play explores themes of sin, redemption, and the consequences of one's actions.
