Dorotea is an entirely dialogue prose narration [ first ] de Lope de Vega published in 1632. The critic José Manuel Blecua Teijeiro considers it as “one of the great works of Spanish prose. »» [ 2 ] .

Like a good part of Lope’s production, the work is remarkable for the characteristic symbiosis it operates between biography and fiction. She thus integrates many episodes inspired by the author’s life, in particular on the one hand her controversies with gongorism, and on the other hand her romantic relationships with two women: Elena Osorio, with whom he had a relationship of five years during his youth, and Marta de Nevares, a married woman from whom he fell in 1617 and with whom he lived after the death of her husband. Around 1627 she lost her sight then some time later reason. Lope published Dorotea A few months after his death.

The work is divided into five acts, each in turn divided into several scenes: the first in eight, the second in six, the third in new, the fourth in eight, and the last in twelve.

The story is centered on the love triangle formed by Dorotea and his two contenders: Fernan, a young poet, and Don Bélan, a rich, older Creole, and having made a fortune in America. At the beginning of the story, Dorotea and Fernan have a romantic relationship, but the wish of his mother Teodora to find a better party for her daughter leads him to accept the services of a old cupid offset, Gérard, who organizes a meeting between them two. The learner, Fernan decides to flee to Seville by taking jewels he obtains by deceiving his former lover Marfise, Dorotea’s sister; Not supporting her departure, Dorotea tries to commit suicide, but she ends up meeting Don Béla. Fernan, who cannot forget Dorotea, returns to Madrid, fights against Don Béla and hurts him. Fernan and Dorotea meet, but the first ultimately abandons him for Marfise. Don Béla is assassinated by two men and Gérard dies, irony for a drunkard, going to get water to revive Dorotea who passed out by learning her [ 3 ] .
