Dama Duende

Dama Duende

by Pedro Calderón de la Barca

La dama duende, by Pedro Calderón de la Barca, is a classic Spanish Golden Age comedy. It revolves around the misunderstandings and intrigues arising from the belief in duendes (goblins or sprites). Don Manuel, a nobleman, is convinced that a duende is tormenting him and his family, interfering with his courtship of Doña Angela. The play uses the confusion surrounding this supposed supernatural presence to unravel a series of comical situations, including hidden identities, mistaken identities, and love triangles. The play offers a clever commentary on the follies of human behavior and the power of superstition, culminating in a resolution that exposes the truth behind the supposed duende and brings about a joyous resolution for the characters.
