In the author's own words his play "aims to set down within a
realistic framework, so necessary to the theatre, a nucleus of
problems and passions involving man in general, and not blind
people in particular." The physical blindness of the depicted
characters is only a motive or pretext for presenting the
limitations we all share as human beings. Accordingly, the play
must be understood as a sketch of the tragedy of man and his
destiny, a problem which again is acquiring legitimacy and urgency,
outstepping from the serious Spanish theatre studies into the
surrounding reality. Two aspects are set down as intentionally
dominant within the plan of Buero Vallejo's work. One is the social
relationship, a mixture of free and forced situations, which
arestablished between a strong individuality whose reasoning and
frustration conflict with the reasoning and passion of the
community. The other involves the tension of the visionary, the
yearning for "light" and the belief in it which occasionally
distinguishes the people of genuine religious feelings facing the
material interests of the majority.
