House Of Trials


House of Trials- 
At the beginning of the play Dona Ana, Celia, and soon Dona Leonor have multiple pages of story telling for the use of setting up some of the story and plot.  They use this to help set up the story and relationships amongst majority of the characters because back then people went to listen to a play rather than to watch a play.  There are many themes that present themselves throughout this play, one being the fact that there are many love triangles in the play, well if you can call them love triangles.  It is really just a large group of people who are all in love with not the right person.  All of these misunderstandings lead to some dramatic moments, causing characters to fight, hide, and manipulate the entire situation.  Another theme that was present throughout the play was how much dramatic irony popped up, seeing as the audience having the privilege to know everything that is going on, even more than the characters on stage at some points.
