Traidor, inconfeso y martir : Drama histórico en tres actos y en verso by Zorrilla
"Traidor, inconfeso y mártir : Drama histórico en tres actos y en verso" by Zorrilla is a historical drama written in the late 19th century. The play centers around themes of identity, honor, and intrigue set against the backdrop of sixteenth-century Spain, with principal characters including Gabriel Espinosa, Doña Aurora, and Don César de Santillana. At the heart of the plot lies a mysterious figure whose hidden identity, connections to nobility, and
relationship to significant political turmoil drive the story forward. The tension is heightened by suspicion, romantic entanglements, and the interplay of loyalty and deception among the characters. The opening of the drama unfolds in a Valladolid inn, where preparations are made for the secretive arrival of Gabriel Espinosa, a man traveling with a young woman (Doña Aurora) and a loyal attendant. The innkeeper Burgoa is given strict instructions and paid handsomely by various mysterious visitors to offer the newcomers full hospitality and privacy. Soon, military and judicial authorities, chiefly represented by Don César and his father Don Rodrigo, entangle themselves in the matter out of suspicion and duty. Through tense interactions and veiled confrontations, the characters probe Gabriel’s true identity, his connection to Aurora, and the persistent rumors of royal impersonation. The act builds to Gabriel’s dramatic arrest while emotional conflict intensifies between Don César and Aurora, setting the stage for further revelations and dramatic turns.
