Abstract
El presente estudio ofrece una interpretación tipológica de dos episodios clave dentro de La Dragontea (1598) de
Lope de Vega: la resistencia montada por los cimarrones de Santiago del Príncipe contra Francis Drake y la captura
del pirata Richard Hawkins en las costas del Perú. A la luz de esta lectura, enfocada en estos personajes y
sus vicisitudes, me propongo reevaluar la obra ofreciendo una interpretación más matizada de La Dragontea en la
que las fronteras entre el bien y el mal son más permeables de lo que pudiera parecer.
This article offers a typological interpretation of two key-episodes of Love de Vega’s La Dragontea (1598): the resistance of the maroons of Santiago del Príncipe against Francis Drake and the capture of the pirate Richard Hawkins in the Peruvian coastline. Through this reading, focused on these characters and their misfortunes, I propose a reinterpretation of the work and more nuanced understanding of La Dragontea in which the boundaries between good and evil are more fluid than it might seem.
