| Sumario: | Chapter 8 of the book "Comedia & Points of View" is presented. It explores the existence of the hermaphrodite, a character who is partly male and female, in Comedia. In the evolutionary sense, hermaphroditism is the primary form of sex distribution, while gonochorism is upreared through the deliberate repression of sex. In the play "La vida es sueño," the focus of hermaphrodism in women is Rosaura's ego who lost her honor and husband, Astolfo, as well as in the play "Gil de las calzas verdes" of Tirso, where Juana was in search of Martín. |
