A PLACE DEDICATED TO OUR DEVELOPMENT
THE TRIALS OF A noble HOUSE
By Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz
First Part
In this first part or first day is where most of the characters are present or if not all of them. We are in a common house and everyone in it two women are presented scene: Doña Ana and Doña Celia. Apparently it's an afternoon near dusk and what grieves him to Doña Ana is the arrival of his brother Peter to this, his home. Accompanied by Celia wants to solve this problem, then opt for Doña Ana advise you to leave your home and that she will remain on standby as desired. Meanwhile, Ana rejected the proposal explaining why his insistence. Besides this woman tells Celia, who apparently is your best maid, which will have greater confidence, which has lately happened to her brother and her new also. Note that this talk about Ana dealed that both have worried: love. It also appears that by leaving his brother in this house from Toledo (a Spanish province) get a suitor named Juan, "heartthrob removing what is fine", puts Ana. However, it does not correspond to that endeavor because in his adventures found another man which has been skewed and blurred vision. Doña Ana man who looks just passing on the street where his inn. Ana does not know if this is a misfortune or a benefit. Just know that Celia listened and answered correctly what his wife said. But what is hidden in the consciousness of Celia is that she has locked in a hidden place in the house at the same Don Juan. And even worse, the name of the gentleman that has clouded the view of Ana's nothing but Carlos de Olmedo, a lover who by their acts or simply by their presence can win the heart of any beautiful lady like Doña Ana and Doña Leonor ...
Leonor that mysteriously arrived at the house of Doña Ana asked lodging in the house, kneeling at the feet of the first woman and telling her unhappy story. Among his bearings everyone she was a tribute and worship. His charming beauty was object of admiration, stolen glances, furtive praises of suitors. Anyway, his people had taken as an imminent figure. She on the other hand since he was born, grew up and was engaged with such pride to his studies, growing and learning new things. Sure it was hoped that by its beauty not get up passions worthy noble knights as waiters. This is because as the "spell" came into the hands of a man. Who was this man? Carlos Olmedo. Leonor much-commitment to this passion, was well matched by Carlos. It was a reciprocal relationship. It was then that on one occasion to be accompanied by her lover were found with two grooms on their way, who warned one whose name was Diego de Castro, cousin Eleanor, his other companion, Don Juan who killed the young man of Carlos because he was convicted of bringing it to his cousin. In this tragic scene swords were drawn and ended with the flight of John and death, by Carlos, Diego. And suffering these pains and miseries, Leonor has been therefore lonely, sad to the house of another of the ladies with which possibly has a distant relationship, but with great questions.
The ladies attentive heard the story and when it finished speaking, Ana was impressed at such news. Did John?, was the least, but Carlos de Olmedo ?, That itself was a problem. Ana is who tries to pretend that mysterious gentleman, yet he pretends to another, Leonor and in turn rejects the love that John has to offer. (I open a parenthesis to declare my opinion. This skit, takes this matter of being in a vicious interesting limits circle, because in reality hardly understand the plot of this story and lack disaggregate whole story to see how it manages the conflict).
It is thus as Ana accepts no downside hosting Leonor and sends Celia to take her inside to rest in one of the rooms. Ana to stay waiting for the meeting with his brother, has sought a new problem, its arrival at Charles de Olmedo and his companion Brown who also intended to seek asylum in their fine home. And taking them to the garden and finally closing the door of his home leave. Ana of course, still waiting for the call from his brother, Peter.
Parallel between the paths are Rodrigo, brother Hernando Leonor and his faithful companion. Walking talk about the issue of sudden flight, Eleanor and why of it.
(Due to the complexity of the work, I have not been able to rescue each of the things and say or are counted in the same way for me is difficult to provide all of coherence between a painting and another, partly because they do not I'm used to reading plays)
Returning to the house of Doña Ana. Inside is developing an exciting discussion and controversy. Apparently the previous events occurred while Leonor ran into Juan or could be reversed. At that time, between the two takes place a confrontation, because John was also one of the nobles who intended to Leonor, but it never corresponded to such proposals. It is all a play by emotions as to meet Ana and Carlos arrive. All this I express my words, for itself all a very naughty twist occurs. See how your lover Carlos talking to himself John and see the anger he feels at the moment and as such faces Ana awkward moment to see her former suitor Eleanor made since beginning his enemy while idolizing Carlos. Everything happens so fast and there is so vivid environment that does not stop to read the dialogues between the characters. And the climax comes when it joins them Celia. And he realizes everything that happens, luckily Ana was more entertaining in the main controversy and has not realized that Celia was Don Juan who locked. Furthermore Ana trying to fix all the conflict calls for all retire at different corners of the house will not be long because the eve of his brother and not to give such a presentation. To which everyone respects this decision and retire to different sides.
The first day ends with the arrival of the homeowner Don Pedro well apparently received by his sister.
Second Part
On this second day starts after the night so hectic. Since it is day and found ourselves in the garden where Don Carlos goes to meet with Brown and tells him about the night before. As he saw Eleanor, her lover in this house, that house looks more hospitality. In this talk what worries Carlos is knowing how or for what reasons came Leonor came to rest in this household. Further believes that everything is an illusion. This comes Celia, Ana maid who gives an order to be hidden fast as her mistress does not want his brother to see, because your life depends on it. These two characters we choice but to obey is, but also adhere to a song that will rule near where asked Celia, would listen attentively. As he went out the garden gate and was closed before having a little chat between Brown and she apparently Castano want to pretend. After that they left the table where no one would see them but could hear that song.
Ana and Leonor came to that part of the house, I think it is in a courtyard just off the garden. Including the theme that moves at a certain point to Leonor, Ana asking about what can be the reason that brought Carlos to this place is outlined. She does not respond and let the best minds of his "enemy" better with a little music, as well as they will be joined by Pedro de Arellano.
This is not just a meeting of beauties and a gentleman. It's all a plan by Ana to fall into the lowest that a man can fall in the worst weapon that love can have, at most infamous that a person can do for another: jealousy.
Meanwhile Peter remains in discussion with Leonor, aims to make a resolution to the penalties of this woman. Ordering his sister to entertain. Thus begins a song that seems to have no end and where all the characters that were in that area participated. A song where the main subject is handled jealousy. It ends this song Ana Leonor was removed indoors. And Celia, who is also complicit in the whole plan again to Carlos and tells him about the song.
Carlos I listen carefully ordered, asked Celia was doing pretty lady with Doña Ana and Don Pedro. To which Celia replied with rude words was none of his business venture into the affairs of others, but that man you saw, Mr. Pedro love that lady. And the reasons the unknown. To subsequently leave the site. Don Carlos has been heavily penetrated and has fallen in the game of jealousy, but have you thought of snatch with all this leave his beloved with him, get her out of this madhouse. However, for him nothing could be better, due in part to what will happen next.
Reach the garden Don Rodrigo and another person not so nice: Don Juan. Encountering again with former enemies and yet still have the desire to end their efforts before had left. This becomes a meeting. Celia joins this conversation and is impressed with what their eyes see. Rodrigo and Juan; and Carlos. Carlos I gallardo is, is not intimidated by certain encounters. And Rodrigo meanwhile discloses the purpose of your business. He has come for Mr. Pedro, who is responsible for their problems, it is this man who took his beautiful Leonor; however, ignores the real culprit is who is watching: Don Carlos. He in turn is always condemned the treatment of Celia, to ask this to retire and hide before he gets his master. Well you saying such ordinances dialogue you have with Rodrigo is concluded, primarily and hiding before the arrival of Don Pedro. But at the same time and at their own risk, it remains to listen to the talk of all the gentlemen present.
At the exit of Mr. Pedro is not much printing you have to see the two young men in his place. Indeed, questions, in part, that reasons brought them to him. What is the reason? Rodrigo has come to a duel with Peter, because he is a coward who has stolen his sister and who has brought up here. But it is less expected that Rodrigo will propose something that can not refuse. The question remains between take your sister or else that Peter will become the husband of the same. Undoubtedly, without thinking too much. Pedro agree with the second option, as the well know that before had been loving and Leonor suitor. Given these responses the two gentlemen who were with Mr left. There is just something that stays in Peter's thoughts: Leonor is yours or imposed by the whim of Rodrigo, but in any case Leonor resist to this ... Everything will be matter of seeing.
Such words heard from Charles and Hazel instead. And taking this issue, Don Carlos repressed his words to his friend who nonetheless resolution giving their new problems, chose to advise him to take revenge, love to the beautiful and rich in Doña Ana.
This second part ends with these arguments leading to the final day.
Third Part
At the beginning of this last day leave Celia and Doña Leonor. It seems that the rumors have come and have reached the ears of Leonor. Now she knows the whole situation. Peter walks behind her and wants to take as his wife, while on the other hand this off Carlos who before her lover's after the adventures of Ana.
It is a blend of love, jealousy, lust, revenge, lost loves, loves cattle, in short, is quite a well-written comedy.
Carlos Brown sends his servant, threats, explain the plight Leonor's father. Not to be recognized is dressed in the clothes of Leonor, increasing entanglements. Dressed as Leonor meets Pedro, who is puzzled by folly, he believes feigned his beloved. Then the servant changes his attitude and promises him that same night shall be his wife. In the end all entanglements are resolved happily: Carlos left with Eleanor, John and Ana Celia Brown. Don Pedro left alone, mainly for having concocted the whole deception to get a woman he knew was impossible.
