Fuenteovejuna, perhaps Lope de Vega's most performed work, addresses the people's right to rebel against the abuse of power. Written in 1613 and based on real events, it tells the story of the commander of the town of Fuente Ovejuna, Fernán Gómez de Guzmán, subjectss the citizens to suffer under the rigors of an arrogant, corrupt, and ruthless government. But when they find that power really resides in the citizens, they unite, take up arms, and confront authority with the battle cry of “What is Fuenteovejuna? “The whole town, together!”  

 

Fuenteovejuna, quizás la obra más representada de Lope de Vega, habla de la rebelión del pueblo frente al abuso de poder. Escrita en 1613 y basada en hechos reales, cuenta la historia del comendador del pueblo de Fuente Ovejuna, Fernán Gómez de Guzmán, que lleva a padecer a los ciudadanos los rigores de un gobierno soberbio, corrupto y despiadado. Pero cuando el pueblo se cansa de ser humillado y encuentra que el poder realmente reside en la gente, es decide unirse, tomar las armas, y enfrentar a la autoridad bajo el grito de “¿Qué es Fuenteovejuna? ¡Todo el pueblo, a una!”.
