La vengenza de Tamar was first published in 1968 and is one of the
outstanding plays of the Spanish Golden Age dramatist Tirso de
Molina (1580?-1648). The name was the pseudonym of a Mercedarian
friar, Fray Gabriel Tellez. Tirso was greatly influenced by Lope de
Vega and in turn influenced the master of the Spanish comedia,
Calderon. He was a prolific writer whose most famous plays are El
burlador de Sevilla and El contenado por desconfiado. The plot of
La venfanza de Tamar comes from the biblical story in II Samuel
xiii: Amnon, the eldest son of King David falls in love with his
beautiful half-sister Tamar; feigning illness he entices her into
his house and rapes her; he is later put to death at a banquet by
his half-brother Absalom. Tirso uses this violent and passionate
story to develop a play that is rich in dramatic purpose and tragic
content.
