Description
This research project addresses the problem of "sueño, realidad y destino" (dream, reality and fate) in Calderon de la Barca's play: La vida es sueño. Sueños, or dreams, are a result of the unconscious stage in which one's mind plays and creates different things that aren't under one's control. It is where the conflicts, happiness, depression, and/or victories will meet in one place and show us the 'other us'. Also, we can describe dreams as a messenger between our 'inner self and 'outer self. Dreams reflect who we really are and how we are most likely to act in different scenarios; however, dreams are distanced from reality because they only live in our minds. In this play, we will see that the idea of dreams and reality will be confused by the main character, whose family has hidden him so that their fate doesn't come true. This research is about dreams, reality, and fate, and how they relate to this period of time and the characters in the play. It shows the dream's applications for psychology, philosophy, and history, and it also compares the different ideas of critics that explain how the "dream" works in this play as well.
