The meaning of Calderón’s Fineza contra fineza, —the reception of which begins in 1671—, varies among those who read it and those who attended its theatrical representation. This work contrasts the different receptions on the basis of two representations at palace, in 1671 and 1717, and an example of the read text of 1672. Actions that are considered important for the dramatic text are only incidental for the narrative plot. Meanwhile, the myth isn’t highlighted in the representation whereas for the written text it is essential. If the representation aims at eulogizing the monarchs, the read work would be a story of courage and love that started by chance.
