Summary "Monólogo do Vaqueiro" by Gil Vicente is a dramatic monologue that stands as a significant piece in Portuguese literature, believed to have been written during the early 16th century. This work captures the essence of early theatrical expression in Portugal, depicting a rural character, a shepherd, who comically and earnestly addresses the court regarding the birth of a royal prince. The primary topic revolves around themes of joy, devotion, and the connection between the common people and the royal family, articulated in a lively and engaging manner. In the monologue, the Vaqueiro bursts onto the scene filled with excitement and a sense of wonder, seeking confirmation and celebrating the birth of Prince João. His heartfelt and simple questions reveal his awe of the royal chamber, contrasting his rustic background with the grandeur of the court. As he connects with the queens and the nobility, he brings along gifts from fellow shepherds, showcasing a sincere and playful spirit that highlights the joy of the people. The dialogue is rich in poetic language, expressing not only the delight at the new royal birth but also forging a heartfelt link between the common people and their rulers, portraying the shared human experiences of joy and family.
