Summary "Comedia llamada Selvagia, Comedia Serafina" by Alonso de Villegas is a theatrical work that blends elements of drama and comedy, likely written during the mid-16th century. This work appears to be a precursor to the romantic and dramatic comedies that flourished in the Spanish Golden Age, highlighting themes of love, social interactions, and the complexities of human relationships. The narrative centers on a young nobleman, Flerinardo, and his feelings of unrequited love for the beautiful Isabela, alongside his friend Selvago, who navigates the entanglements of affection and friendship. The opening of "Comedia llamada Selvagia" introduces us to Flerinardo, who has become infatuated with Isabela after a chance encounter where he sees her from a window. His anguish over this love captivates the audience as he confides in his friend, Selvago, about his turmoil. Initially consumed by despair, he engages in a witty exchange with Selvago, who tries to reassure him amidst his emotional chaos. As they navigate this exploration of love, the comedic elements begin to unfold, setting the stage for a narrative filled with misunderstandings, romantic entanglements, and astute observations about love and folly that promise both entertainment and deeper reflections on the nature of human desire.
