Abstract
In Lope de Vega’s two plays, El rey don Pedro en Madrid and El Villano en su rincón, conflicts over the chastity and honor of the common people are unfolding, which are commonly resolved through the dual structure and the appearance of king in these two plays. In El rey don Pedro en Madrid, the dual structure provides logical validity for King Don Pedro to act as a just judge, and in El Villano en su rincón, the dual structure contributes to establishing two different forms of conflict. These two plays collectively represent the core themes of raising the status of the common people and restoring the honor of the common people. Through this, these two plays will be recognized as examples of plays dealing with the chastity and honor of the common people in the history of Spanish theater in the 17th century.
