As the title indicates, Pedro Calderón de la Barca's Jealousy tragically dramatizes the same key themes and emotions that preoccupied Shakespeare in Othello. His portrayal of the mind and passion of King Herod, a ruler traditionally vilified in Catholic Spain during Calderón's age, reveals a compassionate understanding and lack of prejudice.
