Abstract
Li da S. Glaze Auburn Un/vers/ty Abstract Critical studies ofJacinto Benavente's theatrical production treat La cenicienta, Yva de cuento. ., and La novia de nieveas works of children's theater, but more than that, they are outstanding examples of the comedia de magia. The purpose of this essay is to analyze the three works as examples of the modem comedia de magia, focusing on their relationship to the eighteenth and nineteenth-century form. In particular, Benavente's version of each builds on traditional fobktales instead of classical mythology or Biblical themes and evokes social, moral, and philosophical concerns.
