Drama en cuatro actos en verso y prosa
Produced by Stan Goodman, Virginia Paque, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team
"Los Amantes de Teruel" by Juan Eugenio Hartzenbusch is a dramatic work rooted in a Spanish legend, written during the mid-19th century, specifically the Romantic period. The play centers on the tragic love story of Juan Diego Martínez Garcés de Marsilla and Isabel de Segura, two earnest lovers whose devotion ultimately leads to heartbreak due to societal and familial constraints. Their journey encapsulates themes of enduring love, loss, and the consequences of time and circumstance, making it a poignant exploration of the human condition. The opening of "Los Amantes de Teruel" introduces the rich backstory of the titular lovers against the historical backdrop of 13th-century Teruel. We learn about their unyielding love that faces opposition from Isabel's father, who favors a wealthy suitor, Rodrigo de Azagra. Marsilla leaves to seek fortune in war, curating hope for their union, but tragedy strikes when he returns too late to claim his beloved. The narrative is framed by the emotional intensity of their love, setting a tone of unavoidable grief and loss that permeates the play. As the audience witnesses the unfolding drama, the characters' aspirations and the stark reality of their circumstances intertwine, creating a deeply affecting tale emblematic of Romantic literature.
