Las silvas como medio expresivo en pasajes marítimos de los autos de Calderón de la Barca

The present article attempts to prove that silvas pareadas have an expressive link with maritime passages. The autor studies fi ve autos sacramentales by Pedro Calderón de la Barca. This poetic form has a free structure in terms of extension: it has no limits of strophes. This characteristic makes silvas pareadas suitable for maritime passages. Calderón can include a smaller or higher quantity of heptasyllabic verses according to the case. The autor therefore argues that this metric form varies according to the action and enables the autos to reach intense dramatical expression.&nbsp
