Résumé
Resumen: A partir de una pregunta sobre la puesta en escena de un pasaje de El perro del hortelano, este artículo examina el papel que desempeña en la comedia la imagen de la pluma, que alude a figuras mitológicas de ascenso peligroso (Ícaro), pero también al oficio del galán (secretario) y a las aficiones literarias de su señora, la condesa de Belflor. Estas nos llevan a estudiar el carácter y deseos de la protagonista, que se revelan igualmente relacionados con la pluma: Diana es una dama fantasiosa que quiere ser leída literal y metafóricamente, y que ideará un novelesco escarceo de lectura y lectores con el que conseguirá un hombre que la merezca.
Palabras clave: Lope de Vega; El perro del hortelano; Diana; simbología; plumas.
Abstract: Departing from a question on how to stage a passage of Lope de Vega’s El perro del hortelano (The Dog in the Manger), this article examines what role has in the play the image of the feather, which alludes to mythological figures in a dangerous ascent (Icarus), but also to the job of the protagonist (who is a secretary) and to the literary penchant of his lady, Diana, Countess of Belflor. Her love for literature takes us to study her character and desires, which are also related to the feather: Diana is a dreamy lady who wishes to be read, both literally and metaphorically, and who will come up with a very literary flirtation involving reading and readers which will make her obtain a man who deserves her.
