The Character and Function of María Josefa in La Casa de Bernarda Alba, or Madness as a Dramatic Resource

Summary/Abstract: This article examines the dramatic function of María Josefa within the structure of La Casa de Bernarda Alba. By portraying her as “mad,” the author portrays her as a character who rebels against the tyranny of her daughter Bernarda. In this construction of the character of María Josefa, there is a certain similarity with those “madmen” and “madwomen” in Spanish Golden Age and English Elizabethan theatre.
