Description
Summary:	Chapter 6 of the book "Comedia & Points of View" is presented. It explores the linguistics usage and situational irony in the four plays of Tirso de Molina including "El burlador de Sevilla," "Don Gil de las calzas verdes," "El Aquiles," and "La venganza de Tamar." According to Edward Brenan, "El burlador de Sevilla" is the greatest play in the Golden Age, where the irony of the play is found in the behavioral patterns of its characters specifically on Don Juan.
