Riassunto

Excerpt from An Essay Upon the Life and Dramatic Works of Dr. Juan Perez De Montalvan: Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Department of Philosophy of the University of Pennsylvania in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy

Another serious defect is monotony. This is due, in great part, to the repeated employment of certain dramatic stock themes in the plot-construction. Pellicer, himself, remarks that the subject of jealousy, indispensable to every play, was always of the first importance to Montalvan. But this is not by any means the only motif employed.l Add to the tedium arising from this source, that occasioned by the general same ness of the typical characters. Again and again, we have the singularly stupid and easily duped father - the mother is very rarely mentioned; the forward and deceitful daughter; her jealous and intriguing friend usually her rival in love; the gay gallant; the impudent, familiar and easily bribed ser vant; and the inhuman villain. There is not much variation to be seen at any time in this monotonous and uninteresting gallery of time-worn portraits.
