| Summary: | The closed configuration of the Sevillian tower-house of old Carrizales prompts us to read the short novel as a parodic and inverted rewriting of the fabulous metamorphic episode of Danae and the golden rain. It is no longer the story of a successful pregnancy but of an aborted biological cycle, despite the immaterial strategies and hypertrophied sexuality of the virote Loaysa to get inside the tower-house where the young wife lives in seclusion and seduce her. Thus it can be understood why in the collection of 1613, the novel of El celoso extremeño is placed precisely between La fuerza de la sangre and La ilustre fregona. |
