Huellas cervantinas en el ciclo farsesco de Federico García Lorca

Abstract

Along his life, Federico Garcia Lorca declared several times his debt with the Golden Age Theatre, especially with the entremeses or short plays of Miguel de Cervantes. The entremeses become, in the hands of the playwright from Granada, the root of which shape can be given to the framework in which farcical cycle is spun. The Cervantes’s entremeses appeared as a source of characters, subject matters and human tones with which the poet writes three farces in which aims to reintroduce traditional subject matters to build up a mythical, universal and timeless space that becomes the world’s mirror which stifles those individuals who stay out of what was established by society.
