ABSTRACT

Tirso was a leading playwright in Spain in the 17th century, and his work, Don Gil de las calzas verdes, is regarded as a play with an excellent comic identity in light of today's comedic theory of "different" and "unfamiliarity," young people's resistance to unfair practices related to marriage as a social judgment on absurdity, and the notion of harmony and reconciliation at the end of the play. The play also features a constant confrontation between the fictional story of Don Gil de las calzas verdes and the real story of Juana abandoned by her beloved man. Within this confrontation, the Baroque worldview of coincidence, chaos, and fantasy unfolds pleasantly with a comic touch. In other words, the play can be regarded as the epitome of Baroque comedy, which depicts the Baroque worldview using Tirso's unique comic touch.
