Caballero de Olmedo by Lope de Vega Pdf
El caballero de Olmedo: The knight of Olmedo is a work of Lope de Vega written surely in 1675 and based, like others of the same author, on a popular song. The work is usually classified as a tragedy (or tragicomedy), since it introduces elements of this genre in its classical tradition, such as the presence of a choir, the fatal outcome of its protagonist or the theme of destiny as an inexorable force that is imposed on characters. Despite this, the first two acts of the work contain many elements in common with other romantic comedies of romantic theme.
