Calderon de la Barca: Jealousy the Greatest Monster

As the title indicates, Pedro Calderon de la Barca's Jealousy tragically dramatizes the same key themes and emotions that preoccupied Shakespeare in Othello. His portrayal of the mind and passion of King Herod, a ruler traditionally vilified in Catholic Spain during Calderon's age, reveals a compassionate understanding and lack of prejudice. Through the madness of possessive love and jealousy, Herod first destroys his wife's love and trust, and then her life.Calderón de la Barca, Pedro is the author of 'Calderon de la Barca: Jealousy the Greatest Monster' with ISBN 9780856683695 and ISBN 0856683698.
