The dramatic work of Sor Juana goes from the religious to the profane. Its most outstanding works in this genus are Love is more maze, the efforts of a house and a series of sacramental cars designed to be represented in the court.
ResponderEliminarIt is interesting that Sor Juana didn't limit her writings to topics related to religious matters. On the contrary, many of her works were love poems and plays of passion. She is an admirable woman because she did everything to get a college degree of dressing as a man to present his poems. I learned that Her poetry focuses on the Baroque. Very good job!!
ResponderEliminarSor Juana was an important woman... Since she was a child she knew she wanted to know more about the world, I like the idea that she didn't care what everyone says, she was very intelligent that she dressed like a man to study and learn, thank God she did it because now she's a very important author and her works are know for so many people. I like that she fought for women rights in the Respuesta a Sor Filotea. Good job guys!
ResponderEliminarDon't mean to sound redundant, but Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, a courageous woman, who fought against man rights to punish women. She learnt how to write at 3 years old, she was a prodigy, she had "balls" for a nun, in order to face the problematics of her time. Her work Hombres Necios, is amazing, how she debated whether women as bad and men as worst. Amazing! Thank you compañeritos for this interesting woman! :)
