Excerpt from An Essay Upon the Life and Dramatic Works of Dr. Juan Perez De Montalvan: Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Department of Philosophy of the University of Pennsylvania in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
Another serious defect is monotony. This is due, in great part, to the repeated employment of certain dramatic stock themes in the plot-construction. Pellicer, himself, remarks that the subject of jealousy, indispensable to every play, was always of the first importance to Montalvan. But this is not by any means the only motif employed.l Add to the tedium arising from this source, that occasioned by the general same ness of the typical characters. Again and again, we have the singularly stupid and easily duped father - the mother is very rarely mentioned; the forward and deceitful daughter; her jealous and intriguing friend usually her rival in love; the gay gallant; the impudent, familiar and easily bribed ser vant; and the inhuman villain. There is not much variation to be seen at any time in this monotonous and uninteresting gallery of time-worn portraits.

The principle of division into four different classes of the plays hereinafter examined - i.e., Comedias heroicas, Comedias de Capa y Espada, Comedias de Santos and Comedias devotas - is based upon those definitions given by Ticknor, Vol. II., pp. 218, 207 and 247 respectively. The distinction between the Auto sacramental and the Comedia devota or Comedia de Santos, is well drawn by Fitzmaurice-Kelly, p. 441.
The present dissertation is extracted from a more voluminous work that I have prepared on forty of the dramas of Montalvan, and which I intend publishing in book form at no distant day.
I take this opportunity to express my appreciation of the courtesy of my esteemed Professor, Dr. Hugo Albert Rennert, not only in kindly assisting me in the revision of the proofs, but also in loaning me several rare and valuable works.
