The Spanish play was unprecedented in Spanish literary history in terms of gaining the public’s attention in the 17th century. It was possible as there were many outstanding playwrights during the era. In 1609, Lope de Vega introduced a new writing style through his work, Arte nuevo de hacer comedias, which later became the foundation for baroque play. In addition, Pedro Calderón de la Barca was a key figure succeeding Lope further developing the style, with his work being regarded as the culmination of the Spanish Baroque play. While Lope’s work was distinguished by popularity, Calderón’s was usually regarded as being intellectual, rational, and philosophical. However, Calderón’s work, at least before 1650, was also popular like Lope’s and most of his pieces were based on Arte nuevo de hacer comedias. The aim of this study was to determine the features responsible for popularity in Calderón’s work by analyzing La vida es sueño, which was first published in 1635, through its structure and narrative. The study also examines double structure – the tension between fixation and movement – in a narrative that reinforces conservative values.
