| Summary | "Romance de lobos, comedia barbara" by Ramón del Valle-Inclán is a theatrical play written in the early 20th century, specifically within the Modernist movement. This work explores themes of tragedy, folklore, and the supernatural, set against a backdrop of a decaying noble family, the Montenegros, who are beset by tragedy, greed, and the weight of their sins. The central character, Don Juan Manuel Montenegro, grapples with the consequences of his lifestyle and relationships, particularly the recent death of his mother. The opening of the play introduces Don Juan Manuel as he drunkenly returns from a fair, only to encounter the spectral voices of lost souls, foreshadowing his struggles with guilt and mortality. As he navigates the eerie landscape, the narrative intertwines elements of dark humor and tragic melancholy, setting the tone for the family's interpersonal strife and their eventual demise. In a subsequent scene, the tensions among his sons surface, revealing their greed and selfishness in the wake of their mother’s death. The dialogue highlights themes of family betrayal and moral decay, as they quarrel over inheritance amidst a stormy night, encapsulating the play's tragicomic essence.
